poliphiloWe just passed by the anniversary of Princess Diana's death.
Nobody made any fuss about it.
This is a new century and we have concerns of our own- thank you very much.
Diana has joined all those other royal beauties who briefly lit up the night and then departed, leaving nothing behind.
Princess Alexandra, anyone? "The sea King's daughter from over the sea?" Anyone remember her?
At the time I piously collected all the newspapers with stories about the accident and the funeral and stashed them away in a bottom drawer. "Some day," I told myself, "these will be of great historical interest."
Seems like I was wrong.
I had a major clear-out last year and they all went in the bin.
Mais ou sont les neiges d'antan.
