Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memorial Address Members and Guests of the Legislature of Iowa: Your greatly esteemed invitation, which I could regard but virtually as a complimentary command to appear before you on this occasion, could not fail to bring to my mind another event many years ago, when occupying seat numbered "69," on yonder aisle, the House of Representatives of the Twenty-first Assembly of our State elected me for a far different duty to perform in a matter then pending before the Senate. And scarcely could it have been imagined then that a quarter of a century later, I should be bidden by this Assembly to speak in memory of one who was then my earliest companion in the campaigns of his adopted commonwealth, this my own native State. But the destinies of men can seldom be foreseen and fate forever loves to mystify their future and their plans. Nevertheless, it seemed certain to many of us then that Jonathan P. Dolliver was made and marked for eminent success. No words of mine are needed now to fasten up the fame which, by his great abilities, he wrote across the nation´s sky. No praises or encomiums are required to carry his illustrious name into the devoted households and the hamlets and the cities of the State of Iowa. Mysteries of Life. Human life, in fact all life, is the strangest and most wonderful of the mysteries. So, too, is death - save for the teachings of some philosophers - likewise mysterious. But the natural phenomena of autumn time with gently fading colors, with swift receding vigor, seem almost easily accounted for - an inexorable, known, expected fact. The setting sun and all its twilight hues are sure, decided, known, and fixed as is the picture painted by the artist´s brush.
