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.

Early medieval door with intricate ironwork, Wells Cathedral, Wells, Somerset, UK.
Wells Cathedral has the most exquisite bracing inside. A beautiful X brace to remedy the building sinking to one side due to a very shallow water table.
When art, craftsmanship, and security meld…very sturdy door.

ReplyDeleteabsolutely beautiful!....work of art. I could design a whole house around that door.
ReplyDeleteDoors. Two. Both sides of the wall. Serious about security, apparently.
