章节摘录

　　Gettysburg Oration　　Edward Everett　　19 November 1863　　STANDING beneath this serene sky， overlooking these broad fields now reposing from the labors of the waning year， the mighty Alleghanies dimly towering before us， the graves of our brethren beneath our feet， it is with hesitation that I raise my poor voice to break the eloquent si- lence of God and Nature. But the duty to which you have called me must be performed; -grant me， I pray you， your indulgence and your sympathy.　　It was appointed by law in Athens， that the obsequies of the citizens who fell in battle should be performed at the public expense， and in the most honorable manner. Their bones were careful- ly gathered up from the funeral pyre where their bodies were consumed， and brought home to the city. There， for three days before the interment， they lay in state， beneath tents of honor， to re- ceive the votive offerings of friends and relatives， -- flowers， weapons， precious ornaments， painted vases （wonders of art， which after two thousand years adorn the museums of modern Eu- rope）， the last tributes of surviving affection. Ten coffins of funereal cypress received the hon- orable deposit， one for each of the tribes of the city， and an eleventh in memory of the unrecog- nized， but not therefore unhonored， dead， and of those whose remains could not be recovered. On the fourth day the mournful procession was formed： mothers， wives， sisters， daughters， led the way， and to them it was permitted by the simplicity of ancient manners to utter aloud their lamentations for the beloved and the lost; the male relatives and friends of the deceased followed; citizens and strangers closed the train. Thus marshalled， they moved to the place of interment in that famous Ceramicus， the most beautiful suburb of Athens， which had been adorned by Cimon， the son of Miltiades， with walks and fountains and columns，- whose groves were filled with al- tars， shrines， and temples，- whose gardens were kept forever green by the streams from the neighboring hills， and shaded with the trees sacred to Minerva and coeval with the foundation of the city，- whose circuit enclosed "the olive grove of Academe， Platos retirement， where the Attic bird Trilled his thick-warbled note the summer long，"- whose pathways gleamed with the monuments of the illustrious dead， the work of the most consummate masters that ever gave life to marble.There， beneath the overarching plane-trees， upon a lofty stage erected for the purpose， it was ordained that a funeral oration should be pronounced by some citizen of Athens， in the presence of the assembled multitude.
