Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address of Hon. A. M. Waddell: Before the Philanthropic and Dialectic Societies of the University of North Carolina, June, 1876 Gentlemen of the Philanthropic and Dialectic Societies: When the inhabitant of lowland, malarious region visits, at this season, the up-country, and inhales the atmosphere of the breezy hills, he experiences a sense of relief which is delightful, and which he would fain perpetuate. With a similar feeling of pleasure I am here today in response to the invitation with which you have honored me. Out of the vitiated atmosphere of the political metropolis, and under the burden of duties and responsibilities not yet completely fulfilled, I come to this hallowed spot to discharge an obligation as high as any I have left behind me, and at the same time to enjoy the sweet social intercourse of old friends within these venerable walls and beneath these classic shades. When yesterday I again entered the old campus, the flood gates of memory were uplifted, and now as I stand here the tide rolls in. If its multitudinous waves make music within me, shall not my lips seek to give utterance to it, however inadequate? Oh how earnestly I crave, for this one time at least, the divine gift of eloquence! And how utterly destitute of it I feel in the presence of this occasion. It is one fit for the display of all the most brilliant gifts of intellect and oratory, and therefore it is one before which I stand abashed. It evokes all the poetry and sentiment which lie hidden in the inmost soul, but which the unskilled tongue cannot sing in fitting measure. It is the carnival of memory, held beneath the softening "light of other days" - whose mellow rays shine through the smiles and gild the tears of youth.
