"She hangs there like a flag."

 

"This is to me the hour of greatest joy I ever had in
this world. 

No ear can hear, no tongue can utter, and no
heart can understand the sweet incomes and the refreshings
of the spirit of the Lord, which I now feel."

 

 


Words spoken by Mary Dyer before being hanged on the Common at Boston, Massachusetts for repeatedly defying a law banning Quakers from the colony.

c 1611- 1st June 1660
