Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from From the Old South to the New "A land without ruins is a land without memories. A land without memories is a land without liberty! A land that wears a laurel crown may be fair to see, but twine a few cyprus leaves around the brow of any land, and be that land beautiless and bleak, it becomes lovely in its consecrated coronet of sorrow and wins the sympathy of the heart and history. Crowns of roses fade; crowns of thorns endure! Calvaries and crucifixes take deepest hold of humanity. The triumphs of Might are transient; they pass away and are forgotten. The sufferings of Right are graven deepest on the chronicles of nations. "Yes, give me a land where the ruins are spread And the living tread light on the hearts of the dead; Yes, give me a land that is blest by the dust And bright with the deeds of the downtrodden just. Yes, give me a land that hath legend and lays Enshrining the memory of long vanished days Yes, give me a land that hath story and song To tell of the strife of the right with the wrong; Yes, give me a land with a grave in each spot And names in the graves that shall not be forgot. Yes, give me the land of the wreck and the tomb; There´s a grandeur in graves - there´s a glory in gloom, For out of the gloom future brightness is born And after the night looms the sunrise of morn, And the graves of the dead with the grass overgrown May yet form the footstool of liberty´s throne; And each single wreck in the warpath of Might Shall yet be a rock in the Temple of Right."
