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.

Ancient pottery art from the Greeks, circa 500 to 400 BC. Makes you wonder what we will never see as it is lost, given the fragmentary record we currently have.
As a person who has made pottery for decades, I love these images.
