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.

Woman has a freakish resemblance to subject of The Broken Pitcher by William-Adolphe Bouguereau
It would be fascinating to find out whether this girl has any family history that could match up with the subject in the painting.
I know that my picture, in my H.S. yearbook, was a dead ringer for my granddad's picture in his. That really did freak me out when I saw it! Too bad I didn't inherit his prowess on the sporting field, sigh!
Pretty darn cool, not freakish.
ReplyDeleteIt's amazing how close she looks. Maybe there isn't as much genetic diversity as we think.

Same with my wife. She found a picture of her great grandma, and it was spooky similar to the way she looks.
