FRENCH:  “T. F. P. / Travail, Famille, Patrie”    ‡‡‡

    

 ‡) “Under the paving stones, [we’ll find] the beach...”

An archæologic & anarchic rallying cry as Parisian students & workers tore out the street’s paving stones in May of 1968... & an echo, perhaps, an aeternal return of the Paris Commune of 1870—1871,  & also the Paris Commune of 1789—1795...

  ‡‡) “Liberty, Equality, Fraternity”  —  French Nat’l motto, dating fr. the French Revolution,  & conceptually embedded in the French Constitution  

‡‡‡)  “Work, Family, Fatherland”  —  Nat’l motto of the Vichy Regime, the fascist fuck-puppet govt. of the Nazi occupation
