Beware Caedesians of tomorrow. The Eyes of March are upon us!

The Ides of March (Latin: Idus Martiae, Late Latin: Idus Martii) is a day on the Roman calendar that corresponds to March 15. It was marked by several religious observances and was notable for the Romans as a deadline for settling debts.

In 44 BC, it became notorious as the date of the assassination of Julius Caesar.

Soothsayer. Caesar!

Caesar. Ha! who calls?

Casca. Bid every noise be still: peace yet again!

Caesar. Who is it in the press that calls on me?
I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music,
Cry 'Caesar!' Speak; Caesar is turn'd to hear.

Soothsayer. Beware the ides of March.

Caesar. What man is that?

Brutus. A soothsayer bids you beware the ides of March.

Caesar. Set him before me; let me see his face.

Cassius. Fellow, come from the throng; look upon Caesar.

Caesar. What say'st thou to me now? speak once again.

Soothsayer. Beware the ides of March.

Caesar. He is a dreamer; let us leave him: pass.
William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

In The Air Tonight, Phil Collins

et tu, Brute!
Excellent work Strad!
It was a time to settle debts, so this could also be "The Eyes of Taxes Are Upon You." :)
Seriously, great work per usual. Love your song link.

Actually, John, Jeff Goldblum came to mind upon viewing this...you may be well aware of the reason for that but in case not, I'm referring to his role in the remake of The Fly...however, I will take your warning seriously and will not make the mistake of Julius Caesar...a strong and captivating image with the large, penetrating eyes and razor sharp angles...love that Phil Collins song too...faved.

Tax time for me here so this kind of reminds me of the IRS. They just don't cut you any slack. Good render John.

The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
