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.

Forest Interior by Moonlight — Caspar David Friedrich (1774-1840)
Lovely work. So much so, I was prompted to look for info on a heretofore unknown artist. So happens the work as featured was apparently cropped and shaded. The original is more "illuminating" to the point as to tell a different story. Just an observation - not a complaint.
