Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Character of the Hon. William Parkinson Greene: An Address Delivered Before the Alumni of the Norwich Free Academy, January 25, 1865 Alumni of the Norwich Free Academy: Ladies and Gentlemen, - We have met this evening to manifest our regard for the memory of one who, for forty years, was one of the most marked and influential men in this community. The motives which have prompted you to this commemorative service do you honor, not only as graduates of the Free Academy, but as citizens, as men and women. Good lives are not so common that we can afford to permit those that are preeminently so to pass from among us without pausing to notice the elements of their excellence and derive from them the lessons which they seem specially designed to impart. The life of every man has been declared to be a plan of God; even Shakspeare has said, - "There´s a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them how we will." And a greater than Shakspeare has said, "Ye are God´s husbandry, ye are God´s building." True lives, it is no exaggeration to say, are divine; they present the lineaments of that divine image in which man was first created; they enlarge our ideas of the capacity of our nature; they stimulate and encourage, they rebuke and warn us.
