“The Patient Peacemaker”
There is a gulp in my throat when I dream of that
weary, misunderstood, but patient and humble peacema
ker, who held the scales between the millions of my own
countrymen, shooting and stabbing one another to death
fifty years ago. No other man can be quite like h'm to
mi; he remains my master of men, as is Lee my ideal of
the Happy Warrior. I understand the grim humor in his
sad eyes, I love that lined face, cut from the granite of
self-control; that tamed volcano face, seamed and scarred
by the lava of his trials and his tears: I can see how the
illuminating and conciliatory anecdotes were his relief
from the pain of an aching heart; my muscles harden and
my nerves tingle as I recall the puppet politicians and
fancy self-advertising warriors who crucified him slowly.
The country and the people that Lincoln believed in, I
must believe in and fight for, too. Washington was an
Englishman and baptized us, but Lincoln was an Ameri
