Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered at the Centennial Celebration of the Incorporation of New Boston, New Hampshire, July 4, 1863 There is a sentiment in the human heart answering to the summons which brings us to this feast of memory. We gather at this centre of interest and friendship, from distant homes and varied lines of life, in obedience to a common instinct of our nature. Attachment to the place of birth, the scenes of childhood, the home of kindred and the burial grounds of our fathers, springs from an affection inherent in our humanity. As the exhausted tides, by an irresistible law of nature, roll back to their ocean home, so through their deepest channels the warm and wearied currents of the soul return to the associations, the play-grounds, the companions of early years. When the patriarch Joseph, looking to the promised Exodus, though wearing the second honors of Egypt, gave his brethren "commandment concerning his bones," he did but express a desire instinctive and common to mankind under all conditions and in every age. "Breathes there the man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said, This is my own, my native land! Whose heart hath ne´er within him burned, As home his footsteps he hath turned, From wandering on a foreign strand!"
