| | | "No gilded dome swells from the lowly roof to catch the morning or
evening beam; but the love and gratitude of united America settle upon it
in one eternal sunshine. From beneath that humble roof went forth the
intrepid and unselfish warrior, the magistrate who knew no glory but his
country"s good; to that he returned, happiest when his work was done.
There he lived in noble simplicity, there he died in glory and peace.
While it stands, the latest generations of the grateful children of
America will make this pilgrimage to it as to a shrine; and when it shall
fall, if fall it must, the memory and the name of Washington shall shed an
eternal glory on the spot." | | | Found in the topic War.
| | | "When I am dead, no pageant train Shall waste their sorrows at my
bier, Nor worthless pomp of homage vain Stain it with hypocritic
tear." | | | Found in the topic Unsorted.
