Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address Delivered Before the City Government and Citizens, on the Two Hundredth Anniversary of Worcester, October 14, 1884 I am, this evening, but a voice. As we strive to clasp the two hands which seem to stretch out to us, on either side, through the mist, - the hand of our ancestry, and the hand of our posterity, - I can only imperfectly utter what is in the bosoms of all of you. The hour is consecrated to simple and common emotions; and yet to the emotions which most dignify and ennoble human life. The imperfect instinct of affection for parent and offspring, which nature has given to the brute, is confined to the period of infancy. In man, it becomes parental love and filial reverence. It is the tie that binds us together in the household. It extends beyond the grave, and reaches back to remote ancestors. It goes out with unspeakable yearning even to the soil where the ashes of those we have loved repose. It impels us to seek, with those who are our kindred, a companionship, even in death. "Where the heart has laid down what it loved most," says the greatest of New England orators, "there it is desirous of laying itself down.
