To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I cannot answer him ; or, at least my answer is as little worth making for any effect it will have upon his wishes as if he asked, why should I eat this or drink that ? You must begin by wanting to. But, although desire cannot be imparted by argument, it can be by contagion. Feeling begets feeling, and great feeling begets great feeling. We can hardly share the emotions that make this day to us the most sacred day of the year and embody them in ceremonial pomp without in some de- gree imparting... them to those who come after us. I believe from the bottom of my heart that our memorial halls and statues and tablets, the tattered flags of our regiments gathered in the State-houses, and this day with its funeral march and decorated graves, are worth more to our young men by way of chastening and inspiration than the monu- ments of another hundred years of peaceful life could be. Digitized by Google But ^ven if I am wrong, even if those who come after us are to forget all that we hold dear, and the future is to teach and kindle its children in ways as yet unrevealed, it is enough for us that to us this day is dear and sacred.
