An uneasy calm has been restored to the city, following military intervention last night and the surrender of the protesters' leaders. I don't suppose that will be the end of it for one minute, but it usually helps if there is a time for reflection, and I hope this provides it.
Coincidentally details of this this rare D. H. Chiparus sculpture of an athlete, in bronze patinated metal, circa 1920, 11" x 7" x 18.5" high, price EUR850, were sent to me by French Cab this morning, which I thought very apt.
A celebratory glass of something cold and fizzy to toast the truce is very much in order once the sun is over the yard arm. Or perhaps even a cocktail, but not of the Molotov variety, much in evidence these last few days.
