I was taking a customery walk today....

...past the palace. I observed the 'English' flag and said to myself 'La croix du temple/'La croix de la temple', as I did a man caught my eye and his eyes then fell on a gate lying to the side of the street, upon it was a black cross. I thought of the expression that used to be cited by the right wing 'that there ain't no black in the union jack' pondered the miscalled cross of St George, The cross of the temple, the Templar, and let us not forget St Maurice/Moritz, the archetypal christian knight.
