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?

For three days I tracked him. He slipped in and out of sight, never a clear shot. Finally, I had a clear shot in the morning mist (much like shown here). I lingered while gazing at his wonderous form. That was all it took. He gently walked half hidden behind an oak tree. I waited for him to move. He did not. I stepped into the clear to bring him into my sights, revealing myself. He ran to a fence and jumped over to stand stalk still among a few cows. Only when in with the cows did he look my direction. Not once before did an ear twitch, a nose wrinkle, nothing to show he had sensed my presence. Yet now, when among the cows did he look at me, daring me. Yet like a phantom he seemed to evade me all the while. A four legged Moby Dick.
