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.

A circular golden Viking brooch from Hornelunde near Varde in Denmark. This brooch, decorated with wire filigree and granulation, was made by a Danish goldsmith in the last half of the tenth century.
High art and master craftsmanship.
