Synopsis
Excerpt from Death in the Palace: A Sermon in Memory; Of Edward Everett
Ihopes of the future, to cherish with tenderness the relics of the past.
Into another of these our palaces, suddenly, like a thief in the night, a messenger Of death has entered, summoning from transactions in an earthly court to the bar Of a juster and more august tribunal the greatest of living Americans.
We are still too near the life which has just ended, to be able to see it in its true and full proportions; when we shall have left the building a little behind us, we Shall look back upon it with a more appreciative survey. Its minuter features are still too generally covered with the Veils of secrecy and confidence under which they were wrought, to permit us to count and study them; we shall hereafter see many a point which is now concealed, coming out into golden light. Yet before the current of time bears us farther away from the structure in whose shadow we have been living, it is fitting that we Should repeatedly turn, to send backward to it fond, lingering looks, and sorrowful farewells.
