Happy Bastille Day!

7/14/1891
(7 prisoners freed)

          Allons, enfants de la patrie!
          Le jour de gloire est arrive!
          Contre nous de la tyrannie
          L'etendard sanglant est leve!
          L'etendard sanglant est leve!
  
                  Ye sons of France, awake to glory!
                  Hark! Hark! the people bid you rise!
                  Your children, wives, and grandsires hoary
                  Behold their tears and hear their cries!
                  Behold their tears and hear their cries!
  
          "La Marseillaise" by Rouget de Lisle in 1792  (DT filename[ LAMARSEI)
