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 last picture is Ben Bulben Mountain in County Sligo, Ireland. I spent many happy days in the shadow of old Ben sippin' Guinness. The Drumcliffe church and cemetery where Yeats, the Irish poet, is buried is nearby.
It all look familiar.
