Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Two Pageants: A Discourse Delivered in the First Eng; Evan; Lutheran Church, Pittsburgh, Pa;, Thursday, June 1st, 1865 In that historic and beautiful city of our State, in which our National Independence spoke, in her first perfect articulation, to listening nations, the form of him to whose memory we hallow this day of mourning was surrounded with the pageant of two great occasions. On both those days, thousands thronged the streets; on both, the strains of music floated on the air; on both, the measured step of soldier and sailor fell like an audible pulse upon the ear; on both, the flag of our country was lifted above men; on both, the centre toward which every eye and every heart turned was the same. Yet how different were the days! On the first, February 21st, 1861, darkness was on the heart of the nation: our (lag had been dishonored - a wild, but as yet undefined fear, had risen in the midst of national prosperity and of happiness, which had been too rapturous and intoxicating to endure, and a long, low growl, as of some couching beast of blood, was making the hearts of men grow cold.
