No physical power could build such a throne as that on which he reigned — no wealth could fashion such a crown as that which encircled his princely head — no po- sition, no ofllce on earth could have added anything to his greatness. He held a rank not dependent on the popular vote, and swayed a sceptre which no change of parties could wrench from his hand. His place was in the con- stellation of " ever-during men. " From the hour his sun rose^ jt attracted the gaze, first of his native State, t...hen of 22 New England, then of the nation, and finally of the whole world. And never for one moment was that gaze taken off — it followed his every movement, it watched his every act, it suffered nothing to escape unnoticed — it grew more absorbing, more intense, as he moved sublimely on in his orbit — " in wonder it began, in wonder it ended, and ad- miration filled up the interspace. " And when at last this resplendent luminary was seen touching the horizon, the whole nation, as if suddenlv conscious that a irreal li2;ht was about to pass away, awaited in awful suspense as it slowly but steadily sunk from the view of mortals.
