đđFrunza nu se teme de toamnÄ; ea Čtie cÄ sfârČitul nu e cÄdere, ci ritmul firesc al lumii. Ăn liniČtea desprinderii, nu e durere, ci o formÄ de ĂŽnČelepciune.
Tot ce trÄieČte se supune timpului, dar nu cu teamÄ, ci cu graČie.

What It Left Behind
Alice in Wonderland was a very interesting book, it even got attention from the rulers of a country, the wife of King Ferdinand I, Marie of Romania (also known as Marie of Edinburgh). She loved fairy tales and fantasy books, so she was using the symbols in her daily life. Alice in Wonderland was one of her favorites. She designed a table to her palace, Cotroceni, using the character, âCheshire Catâ which symbolizes joy. The table was a circular table and when the most important guests came, they sat around that table. The importance of that table is the message given âEveryone is equal here.â, and the design of it is impressed by fairy tales.
