Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eulogy on Abraham Lincoln, Delivered at Rockland, Maine, April 19, 1865, by Request of the Citizens "The beauty of Israel is slain upon thy high places! How are the mighty fallen!" On the 19th of April, 1775, the first blood of the Revolution was shed at Lexington. On the 19th of April, 1861, the first blood of this terrible conflict between freedom and slavery was shed in Baltimore. On this 19th of April, 1865, Abraham Lincoln, the first President of these United States whose name and administration will be forever associated with Universal Emancipation, struck down by the assassin´s hand, is carried to his burial at Washington; and a nation is in tears. The martyrs of Lexington and Baltimore died under the lurid skies of the morning, betokening a day of dark and doubtful conflict. Abraham Lincoln died at eventide, when the sun, breaking through the scattering clouds, tinged them with gold and purple, giving promise for the morrow, and threw across the yet darkened sky the bow of hope, - harbinger of peace. But the victor may die, and the victory not be lost. The seed ripens for the harvest, though the hand of the sower be cold in death. More than two centuries ago, Gustavus Adolphus, the most illustrious hero of his time, died, in the hour of victory, on the blood-stained field of Lutzen. But we, to-day, enjoying civil and religious freedom, are reaping the fruits of that victory over papal despotism and imperial tyranny. More than a century back, the gallant Wolfe died, in the hour of triumph, on the Plains of Abraham; but the victory was not lost. The papal and French power on this continent was forever broken, and the way was prepared for the American Revolution and the birth of this glorious Republic.
