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.
From my favorite cousin Diane, in 1953 when we were eight:
"An unusual bird is the pelican, For his mouth will hold more than his belly can. He can hold in his beak Enough fish for a week, Though I surely can't see how It's possible."
He can hold enough in his beak to last him a week.
ReplyDeleteBut I'll be darned if I know how the hellican?
