In Flanders fields, the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

-Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae (November 30, 1872 – January 28, 1918)

For no reason whatsoever, here is a portrait of Pietro Grimani, Doge of Venice from 1741 to 1752, by Bartolomeo Nazari.
On side note, he kinda looks like James May of "Top Gear" & "The Grand Tour" fame.
