Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Resolutions and Discourse What mean these sable symbols of mourning? Why this House of God draped? Why that Flag - the emblem of our national life and power - why wears it the weeds of marked grief? Why this large and solemn gathering? Why these prayers and dirges lifted to Heaven through our tears? You tell me they utter, one and all, the fact of Death, and are signs of uncommon sorrow. But who of your dear ones is recently dead? Into whose home has the grim messenger entered of late and made new havoc with your hearts, in smiting down some illustrious, shining victim, and hence waked this wail of mourning, this quite universal, crushing grief, in our quiet New England home? Who of us have recently lost a loved one? I see no coffin. You have not brought with you into the House of Prayer the dear remains of any dear departed one. Why these symbols of anomalous grief? Why this dark and sepulchral pall? Why your faces covered with tears? Why do your hearts ache as if they must break, or you die? Lo! What do I see, all over our land, where Loyalty and Freedom remain, where are yet found hearts true to God and to law-abiding Liberty, what do I see?
