A bed time thought

The Roman writer and historian, Publius Vergilius Maro - better known simply as Virgil - might well have been writing about the goings-on here on this thread when he wrote:

"For right and wrong are confused here
There is so much war in the world
Evil has so many faces
The plough has so little honour
The labourers are taken
The fields are untended
And the moving sickle is beaten into the sword that yields not".

And for Romans44 - who always wants a reference for everything - this was taken from Virgil's book "The Georgics".

Night night, all. The petty bickering, snide remarks, mutual self-denigration can all wait until tomorrow.

But rest assured that the lights are still burning in Willy Walsh's office as he prepares his strategy for dealing with BASSA.
