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.
You're killin' me with beauty here....all of a piece. I recognize that last photo....found by archeologists in a late 1st century B.C. house in Nazareth belonging to a certain Joachim and Anne. :)
Thanks CW...you made my Sunday. As if the photo theme didn't leave me misty enough, the Allegri brought me to sobs. sublime indeed. You and Mrs. CW will be the main intentions of my Rosary tonight.

Beautiful, Beautiful soundtrack to an overcast stormy day in the Sierras...no questions here *why* yours remains my *favorite* site of the entire internet. Somehow, you seem to 'hit it' just right every time...and the photos are simply incredible...Thanks, Curt! [someday, if you get a chance, you might want to try the Bokker 'Ebenholtz' Straight razor if you get the chance: best i've found yet...]
