Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address Delivered in the Mercer Street Church, New York: December 2, 1858, at the Funeral of the Hon. Benjamin Franklin Butler, Late Attorney General of the United States There is that in death, independently of character or circumstances, that stamps it with awful solemnity. You hear of its having found a new victim, and it impresses you as little as the changing of the wind; but when you come to resolve it into its distinctive elements, and see how comprehensive and yet how mysterious it is; when you think of its antecedents, its attendants, its consequences; when you take into view the premonitory pangs, the rending of the man in twain, the separation from earthly scenes, the disruption of tender ties, the closing of the period of trial, and the beginning of an illimitable retribution - when you take these things into the account, I say, and break away from the illusions of sense and of habit, as you contemplate them, you cannot but feel that this most common of all events is also the most momentous.
