Aλλά η μέρα ήτανε ζεστή και ποιητική,
ο ουρανός ένα γαλάζιο ανοιχτό,
το Aλεξανδρινό Γυμνάσιον ένα
θριαμβικό κατόρθωμα της τέχνης,
των αυλικών η πολυτέλεια έκτακτη,
ο Καισαρίων όλο χάρις κι εμορφιά
(της Κλεοπάτρας υιός, αίμα των Λαγιδών)·
κ’ οι Aλεξανδρινοί έτρεχαν πια στην εορτή,
κ’ ενθουσιάζονταν, κ’ επευφημούσαν
ελληνικά, κ’ αιγυπτιακά, και ποιοι εβραίικα,
γοητευμένοι με τ’ ωραίο θέαμα—
μ’ όλο που βέβαια ήξευραν τι άξιζαν αυτά,
τι κούφια λόγια ήσανε αυτές η βασιλείες.

Μαζεύθηκαν οι Aλεξανδρινοί
να δουν της Κλεοπάτρας τα παιδιά,
τον Καισαρίωνα, και τα μικρά του αδέρφια,
Aλέξανδρο και Πτολεμαίο, που πρώτη
φορά τα βγάζαν έξω στο Γυμνάσιο,
εκεί να τα κηρύξουν βασιλείς,
μες στη λαμπρή παράταξι των στρατιωτών.
Ο Aλέξανδρος— τον είπαν βασιλέα
της Aρμενίας, της Μηδίας, και των Πάρθων.
Ο Πτολεμαίος— τον είπαν βασιλέα
της Κιλικίας, της Συρίας, και της Φοινίκης.
Ο Καισαρίων στέκονταν πιο εμπροστά,
ντυμένος σε μετάξι τριανταφυλλί,
στο στήθος του ανθοδέσμη από υακίνθους,
η ζώνη του διπλή σειρά σαπφείρων κι αμεθύστων,
δεμένα τα ποδήματά του μ’ άσπρες
κορδέλλες κεντημένες με ροδόχροα μαργαριτάρια.
Aυτόν τον είπαν πιότερο από τους μικρούς,
αυτόν τον είπαν Βασιλέα των Βασιλέων.
Οι Aλεξανδρινοί ένοιωθαν βέβαια
που ήσαν λόγια αυτά και θεατρικά.
Aλλά η μέρα ήτανε ζεστή και ποιητική,
ο ουρανός ένα γαλάζιο ανοιχτό,
το Aλεξανδρινό Γυμνάσιον ένα
θριαμβικό κατόρθωμα της τέχνης,
των αυλικών η πολυτέλεια έκτακτη,
ο Καισαρίων όλο χάρις κι εμορφιά
(της Κλεοπάτρας υιός, αίμα των Λαγιδών)·
κ’ οι Aλεξανδρινοί έτρεχαν πια στην εορτή,
κ’ ενθουσιάζονταν, κ’ επευφημούσαν
ελληνικά, κ’ αιγυπτιακά, και ποιοι εβραίικα,
γοητευμένοι με τ’ ωραίο θέαμα—
μ’ όλο που βέβαια ήξευραν τι άξιζαν αυτά,
τι κούφια λόγια ήσανε αυτές η βασιλείες.

Is it just me or does the mask remind you of the classic strip from Mad Magazine, Spy vs Spy? It's crazy!

London Riots: 140 Year Old Building Destroyed
STUPID RIOTING IDIOTS
140 years of business up in flames: Family-run furniture shop that survived the blitz is ravaged by riot fires
- House of Reeves, established in 1867, is now just a charred shell
- Family owners say 'Our lives have been ruined by the fire'
The owners of a 140-year-old family furniture store were devastated today after seeing the charmed remains of the building that fell victim to the riots last night.
House of Reeves has stood on the same corner in Croydon, south London, for more than a century but was targeted by rioters as violence spread across the capital.
Flames ripped through the historic building and spread to neighbouring businesses as firemen battled desperately to quell the inferno.
But today it was looked likely that the damage which was 'worse than the blitz' would force the ravaged building to be demolished and rebuilt.
Owner Trevor Reeves said: 'It has just provided (for) my family and the 15 or 20 staff and families that were supported, it's just completely destroyed.
'Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery.'
'Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery.'
His brother Graham told Sky News: 'Our lives are destroyed, it will probably be someone else next week. It's horrendous, 35 years I have been down here.'
He said the business was established in 1867, but he now had 'nothing', adding: 'Everything is just gone, we have just got nothing left.
'I was in the Brixton riots but this is worse. My life is destroyed.'
One eye witness said: 'The building has survived the test of time. The damage last night was worse than the blitz.
'Everything is just gone, we have just got nothing left.'

These melon shaped,textured bowls make a good breakfast dish, except you don't actually eat them. You can still eat your crappy sugar coated cereal and feel remotely good about yourself.
