“. . . But, in a larger sense, we can not improve, we can not consecrate – we can not hallow – this ground. This brave man, who struggled here, has consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. . . . It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work. . . It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us. . . that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom. . .” From Lincoln’s Gettysbuirg Address.
