| Abstract: | One day, two robbers entered the Winter Palace. One looted, another burned. The victor may be a thief, it would seem. A great devastation was made between the two winners. All the treasures of our cathedrals together does not equal this beautiful and wonderful museum of the Orient. One of two winners had filled his pockets, seeing the other had filled his coffers, and we returned to Europe, arm in arm, laughing. To history, one of the two bandits is named France, the other is named England. |
