Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration Delivered Before the Municipal Authorities of the City of Boston: At the Celebration of the Seventy-Eighth Anniversary of American Independence, July 4, 1854 It is natural for a traveller, pressing forward from sun to sun over hill and valley, to pause on the heights he climbs, that he may look behind him over the length of way already traversed, and before him along the fresh reaches yet to be measured. It is good for the wayfarer of life to rest his steps on the eminences that mark the bounds of his finished years - to take both retrospect and forecast - to give anew his mind to thought, his heart to praise, and his hands to duty. It is equally natural and good for a nation in its swift career to power and greatness, or to whatsoever destiny, to linger awhile on the summits of its successive epochs of life - to learn wisdom from the past - to gather hope for the future, and to gird itself afresh for its race. These National Birth-days, as their joyous chimes from bell-tower and cannon-throat strike on our ears, are fit occasions - goodly hill-tops - on which to bring within one horizon the memorials of the times gone by, and the presages of those to come.
