“They saw their injured country's woe;
The flaming town, the wasted field;
Then rushed to meet the insulting foe;
They took the spear, - but left the shield.”
―Philip Freneau

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

A small chromolithographed copy from the Riijksmuseum hangs in my dining room, believe it or not.
The workmanship on this masterpiece is stupendous, but I've always wondered why Rembrandt painted the guy dressed in white on the right at the front with his big black DICK hanging out? It amazed me that it ever go past the censors. I think it's embarrassing.
The placement on the canvas of the object in question leaves little doubt in my mind that a none-too-subtle allusion to male potency was fully intended by the master.

Don't you too think it's odd as well as untoward?
??? the spear?
Forgive me, but I have a skilled, highly cultivated DIRTY MIND.
Life's much more fun that way.

Besides, isn't a spear a symbol of or substitue for a powerful, erect phallus?
