You have no right to the
Marbles! Far away from their native (and my mother) land, the Parthenon Marbles have been situated at the British (Smugglers, I would add) Museum for over 150 years. The Museum insolently claims that they hold them "in trust for the whole world" (sic!) and that the marbles are "legally obtained". Give back the Elgin marbles, let them lie unsullied, pure beneath the Attic sky ... ... let them hear again the sounds that float around Athene's shrine on morning's breeze ...
