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.
Have two original 1800s books illustrated by Gustav Dore. One is Paradise Lost. The artwork is amazing. The other is also a Blake work but I can't recall which at the moment. Very lucky to find these in near perfect condition, one in Kansas while in the army in 1970 in a small antique shop in Abilene, and the other in Knoxville at a fllea market in the 80s. Have never seen another. Very lucky finds! Bubbarust
