Oh, for a muse of fire that would ascend The brightest heaven of invention!
A kingdom for a stage, princes to act, And monarchs to behold the swelling scene!
Then should the warlike Harry, like himself, Assume the port of Mars, and at his heels,
Leashed in like hounds, should famine, sword, and fire …
Gettysburg Address, Abraham Lincoln
editFour score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
