I read the poem Ozymandias for the first time in a very long while, and realised that the Sisters' Dominion/Mother Russia quotes from it.

For today, I learned that Publius Clodius Pulcher was kind of a bastard, although a rather effective tribune and politician. I mean, he backstabbed Cicero. Jerk.
