Some spring days are warm and sunny, with gentle breezes. Others are stormy and dangerous.

It was 1913 and in a year Europe would be engaged in a series of wars that would reshape the world and bring down empires in unexpected ways.

It must have been something in the Paris water or air, looking back, this composition seems like a prediction of the times to come.

It, also seems appropriate for today and this week.

Here is the Joffery Ballet interpretation of the choreography of the original ballet.

During the original 1913 performance a riot broke out in the audience between the old guard and the new.

[Born and raised by underpaid public school teachers in Sanford, Fla., Andy Marlette graduated from the University of Florida and became staff editorial cartoonist at the Pensacola News Journal in 2007. Marlette received a priceless editorial cartoon education while living with his uncle and Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Doug Marlette in Hillsborough, N.C. Doug’s tragic death in July of 2007 made evermore poignant the elder Marlette’s fierce and faithful devotion to the art form of editorial cartooning as a cornerstone of American free speech. With this in mind, Andy works daily to learn and uphold the disciplines and values passed on to him by his late uncle. Andy’s editorial cartoons have become both hated and adored by daily readers. His work has been awarded by the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors for best editorial cartoons on state issues and former Governor Charlie Crist referred to himself regularly as Marlette’s biggest fan, despite the fact that he was also regularly a target in cartoons.?   Marlette has also illustrated two published children’s books co-authored by Orlando Sentinel sports columnist Mike Bianchi, as well as a recently published children’s book about a carrot-eating dog titled “Harry Loves Carrots.” – Creators Syndicate]
