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.
That's a good way to spend a night. Better if there is a freckle faced lady in the tent too.
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising how warm those wall tents can be in bitterly cold weather. And they are warmer still if there is a freckle or two in there with you.
DeleteI've enjoyed the view from a well-lit tent, back in my dim distant youth.
ReplyDeleteSometimes there was shadow-play that was quite um, fascinating... when viewed on the outside, which those inside the tent were quite unaware of.
Sometimes it was even contagious, for which I remain grateful!
Looks pretty darn cozy, and the sky is wonderful...
