And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Autro-Hungarian Heavy Siege Mortar, 30.5cm Belagerungsmorser “Schlanke Emma”.
I'd have called her Gross (big) Emma rather than Schlanke (slender) Emma. Schlanke can also mean "leaning" and I think that's what they were going for.
