Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Eulogy on Abraham Lincoln: Late President of the United States, Pronounced at the City Hall, Springfield, Mass;, April 19, 1865 We have assembled to honor the memory of the first citizen of the republic. We have come together to say and to hear something which shall express our love for him, our respect for his character, our high estimation of his services, and our grief at his untimely removal from the exalted office to which the voice of a nation had called him. Yet the deepest of our thoughts and emotions are always dumb. The ocean´s floor has no voice, but on it and under it lie the ocean´s treasures. The waves that roll and roar above tell no story but their own. Only the surface of the soul, like the surface of the sea, is vocal. Deep down within every one of our hearts there are thoughts we cannot speak - emotions that find no language - groanings that cannot be uttered. The surprise, the shock, the pity, the sense of outrage and of loss, the indignation, the grief, which bring us here - which have transformed a nation jubilant with hope and triumph into a nation of mourners - will find no full expression here.
