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.

Josefina Holmlund (Swedish, 1827 - 1905): Björkhage med ko (birch grove with cow - I think)
So that's what Björk means.
ReplyDeleteClose enough for government work.
ReplyDeleteI looked up several of Holmlund's paintings on various auction sites. Very fine work obtainable for less than one thousand US.
