Dans le parc …
Dans le parc aux lointains voilés de brume, sous
Les grands arbres d’où tombe avec un bruit très doux
L’adieu des feuilles d’or parmi la solitude,
Sous le ciel pâlissant comme de lassitude,
Nous irons, si tu veux, jusqu’au soir, à pas lents,
Bercer l’été qui meurt dans nos coeurs indolents.
Nous marcherons parmi les muettes allées ;
Et cet amer parfum qu’ont les herbes foulées,
Et ce silence, et ce grand charme langoureux
Que verse en nous l’automne exquis et douloureux
Et qui sort des jardins, des bois, des eaux, des arbres
Et des parterres nus où grelottent les marbres,
Baignera doucement notre âme tout un jour,
Comme un mouchoir ancien qui sent encor l’amour.

Quadriga (Chariot) of the Factio Veneta. Rome. 3rd Century BC.

The horse funalis, located in the chariots to the left, performed an important job, since the turn they gave to the spina depended on it and it was the most risky maneuver in the race, since it was necessary to block the way to the others participants and get them to fall into the sand.
During the Roman Republic there were two sides or teams, the red, factio russata and the white, factio albata. In the 1st century, the factio prasina, the faction of the greens, and the factio veneta, which corresponded to the blues, were added. They were the four most important and had great weight in the ludi circenses of the Roman world. Each of these teams had in their charioteers true heroes who made wins and earned large sums of money and honours. The Blues and Greens eventually absorbed the other factions throughout the third century. The whites were assimilated to the greens and the reds to the blues.

The chariots rise
Up high in the sky
What a fool am I
To fall so in love
What a wonderful dream
It seems to be
'Cause I love him

La façade sud du transept est flanquée de deux tours qui ont été construites pour contenir les cloches des cathédrales. Ils étaient à l'origine destinés à avoir des flèches, qui n'ont jamais été construites. Les parties inférieures sous la rosace datent du début du XIVe siècle et sont plus anciennes que le transept nord. Cependant, la majeure partie du décor sculptural d'origine a été détruite à la Révolution. Des parties du tympan et du trumeau du portail sud ont été détruites en 1794 pour permettre le passage des chariots transportant des vivres par le portail. Certaines sculptures des bagues ont survécu.
The south front of the transept is flanked by two towers that were built to contain the bells of the Cathedrals. They were originally intended to have spiers, which were never built. The lower parts below the rose window date from the early 14th century and are older than the north transept. However, most of the original sculptural decoration was destroyed during the Revolution. Parts of the tympanum and trumeau of the south portal were destroyed in 1794 to allow wagons carrying supplies to pass through the portal. Some sculptures of the bushings survived.
El frente sur del crucero está flanqueado por dos torres que fueron construidas para contener las campanas de las Catedrales. Originalmente estaban destinados a tener agujas, que nunca se construyeron. Las partes inferiores debajo del rosetón datan de principios del siglo XIV y son más antiguas que el crucero norte. Sin embargo, la mayor parte de la decoración escultórica original fue destruida durante la Revolución. Partes del tímpano y el trumeau del portal sur fueron destruidas en 1794 para permitir que los carros que transportaban suministros pasasen por el portal. Algunas esculturas de los bujes sobrevivieron.
El front sud del creuer està flanquejat per dues torres que van ser construïdes per contenir les campanes de les Catedrals. Originalment estaven destinats a tenir agulles, que mai no es van construir. Les parts inferiors sota la rosassa daten de principis del segle XIV i són més antigues que el creuer nord. No obstant això, la major part de la decoració escultòrica original va ser destruïda durant la Revolució. Parts del timpà i el trumeau del portal sud van ser destruïdes el 1794 per permetre que els carros que transportaven subministraments passessin pel portal. Algunes escultures de les boixes van sobreviure.
I'm smart
It's all gone
I am wise
Nothing more
I don't need anything
The horses have galloped away
In this chariot
There's only one driver
I'm dancing the dance
Thinking of nothing
Arms, elbows and hands
My head is clear

Vijayanagar ( City of Victory) was the capital city of the historic Vijayanagara Empire. Located on the banks of the Tungabhadra River, it spread over a large area and included the modern era Group of Monuments at Hampi site in Vijayanagara district, Bellary district and others in and around these districts in Karnataka, India.
The Vijaynagar empire was established in 1336 by the brothers Harihara I and Bukka Raya I of the Sangama dynasty, and rose to prominence as a culmination of attempts by the southern powers to ward off Perso-Turkic Islamic invasions by the end of the 13th century. At its peak, it subjugated almost all of South India's ruling families and pushed the sultans of the Deccan. It lasted until 1646, although its power declined after a major military defeat in the Battle of Talikota in 1565 by the combined armies of the Deccan sultanates.
The chariot photographed above is actually a shrine dedicated to Garuda, built inside the Vittala Temple Complex. The massive sculpture of Garuda, Lord Vishnu’s escort once was seated atop the chariot but it is empty at the present date. The Hampi Chariot has earned its name among the other three famous stone chariots in India- One in Konark, Odissa, and the other in Mahabalipuram (Tamil Nadu).
