the clouds are water like the river, so
without remorse reflect them too
in the calm deep”
- Manuel Bandeira

But the sight of convicted murderers entering the parliamentary chamber won't be the most edifying of spectacles." So says a BBC report this morning.
In the wake of the Communist Party's pull-out from the Indi… Continue
