“Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered,” Paine wrote in that fraught moment, “yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: it is dearness only that gives every thing its value.”

Yes, an excellent description.
“Pure”, it can be refreshing.

My father, who was a teenager during the depression, would make himself cold baked beans with a slice of raw onion on white bread with mayonnaise. It was one of his favorite sandwiches.

10/8 A song you love from a genre you don’t
I don’t have a lot of Bluegrass in my collection but this song resonates with me

“Fight with time to make your pay
Give a dollar's worth away to make a quarter”

Moonlighter

Fire’s almost out glowing orange red kindling
Casting puppets pantomime on the forest walls
I whisper secret wishes to the full October moon
And hear my voice come back to me as the nightingale calls

ineffable disappointment that lying is tolerated
by beaming statesmen and pearl clutching ladies
authenticity granted to forged signatories
ethics clash with their agenda from Hades

how many are the soldiers
so loyal and so brave
that fought for the realm of their master
to be rewarded with their grave

10/6 song for a rainy day

A 1940s song that had been recorded by other artists but didn't chart until Willie Nelson released his version in 1975. Nelson’s recording became his first number-one hit.

So love doesn't follow all the rules
Bodies just vessels to hold
It’s the inside that matters
What feeds quenches us

We’re all beautiful
In somebodys minds eye
The place time unforseen
Till the flutters of a big bang within
Become the #associate to bind
Us as one
