"In
great deeds something abides. On great fields something stays. Forms change
and pass; bodies disappear; but spirits linger, to consecrate ground for
the vision-place of souls. And reverent men and women from afar, and generations
that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by
whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless
field, to ponder and dream; and lo! the shadow of a mighty presence shall
wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into their souls."
General Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain
Gettysburg, October 3, 1889
