To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I could not think at first of anything but the deed. In vain I strove, as we all did, for words to express my abhorrence of it. I could only think of Abraham Lin- coln as a murdered man. But now I think of the glori- ous spirit — of the immortal part — which malignity and murder could not touch, — as garnered and glorious, and eternally safe with God. He rises now before me in 17 vision, bright and beautiful as the star of the morning. Immortality has now put its impress upon his goodness and w...orth. My faith contemplates now only the image from which death can efface nothing more. Henceforth I shall think of him as numbered with the immortals, sharing their communion and their joys.
And now what shall we say of the spirit which slew him ? He was no tyrant. He did no wrong for which he was worthy of death. In his great heart there was pity even for traitors. He was their best friend; and " He hath borne his faculties so meek, hath been So clear in his great office, that his virtues Will plead like angels, trumpet-tongued, against The deep damnation of his taking off.
