A reflective poem honors Lincoln in bronze, praising the statue's enduring glow despite time. It honors Columbia's memory and the nation’s resolve, asserting the great heart for its brothers remains warm even if bronze ages, and insisting we will not forget.
The era's biographers note Abraham Lincoln proposed to Sarah Rickard in 1840 when she was sixteen. Rickard, sister of Mrs. Butler, declined, saying age difference and her regard for Lincoln kept them apart. Lincoln’s later life included no marriage to her, and Herndon records she may have received attentions. A White House anecdote recalls a near-visit with Senator Stewart on the night of Lincoln's assassination and the last note Lincoln allegedly wrote.
Former Senator Mason recalls a tale of Lincoln stopping a buggy to help a struggling beetle by turning it over. Lincoln then returned to the carriage and said he felt better for giving that bug an equal show with all the others on the earth.
The piece gathers personal reminiscences and quotes about Abraham Lincoln from Horace Greeley Alvin Saunders and others. It portrays Lincoln as fearless in action, a man of deep prophetic insight, and a celebrated political figure whose leadership and humanity shaped the nation.
Text appears as fractured dialogue involving Lincoln era figures and a courtroom dispute over jurisdiction. Mentioned names include Alrabun Lleel and Judge Lynch in a conflict with militias and officials. The fragmentary account implies political tension and accountability for war administration.
