4.9/5 (17044 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Praise of Lincoln: An Anthology The poetic faculty is the one divine gift which has no limitations in time or space. It sings in every note of love, from passion to sacrifice. It tunes its lyre to the primrose pitch; and its music is heard in the di apason of the spheres. It records with equal fervor the glories of war and the beauties of peace, the white man's burden and the black man's care, the thrill of liberty and the sullen silence of the slave, the peace of home and the pleasures of the harem, the pomp of power and the pride of place. It weaves Jacob's coat of poverty and Solomon's royal robe. It paints with equal touch the passion of a Madonna and a Salome. It carries to Paradise the warrior's cry, the lover's sigh and the penitential tear. With love and patriotism it forms the human trinity. It ascends to heaven, and, Lucifer-like, drops swiftly to hell again. It has ﬂat tered Nero on his throne and consoled Milton in his blindness. It has cajoled, caressed, rebuked, uplifted, dismayed mankind. It dispenses the honey of Hymet tus and the poison of asps. It has recorded the agony of Mary and the anguish of Cleopatra. It is good and evil, bitterness and sweetness, light and darkness, help and hindrance. From its mouth have come both bless ings and cursings. Happy the man who is worthy of its glorifications.
