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.

Swordfish from Marcus Elesier Bloch’s Ichthyologie ou, Histoire naturelle des poissons. Berlin 1796, and an actual swordfish
Not a swordfish
ReplyDeleteThat bottom image is a type of sailfish, not swordfish. There are many fishes in the sea my friend. The depiction in the drawing is very accurate.
ReplyDeleteEither fish is just Mako Munchies!
ReplyDeleteA nice specimen, but a sailfish for sure.
