St. Martin Renouncing the Sword
Simone Martini's 1321 fresco of that title seems fitting with tomorrow being both the Memorial of Saint Martin of Tours and Armistice Day:



"The superior man is catholic and no partizan. The mean man is a partizan and not catholic."
(君子周而不比、小人比而不周。) ─ Confucius, The Analects, 2.XIV, translation by James Legge.

Omnes Sancti et Sanctæ Coreæ, orate pro nobis.
