July 29th, 1859 AD (search for this): chapter 23
d be thought harsh or unfeeling, than that the young men of America should be made to believe that this life which has now closed affords them the best example — that the syren sentences of Mr. Everett should mislead them from the path of public duty — that his example and his words should beguile them into an avoidance of their political responsibilities, into a contempt for the theories, or an admiration for the general practice of our government; into lives secluded, sybaritical, and proudly, boastingly shallow and useless. The times are full of great occasions, and suggest great duties to the sinewy and courageous nature. We can spare something of scholarship, something of intellectual elegance, something of fastidious taste; but too many noble minds have already been smitten, too many lives once full of promise have been wasted; our short history already records too many tragedies for the sensitive, and too many comedies even for the most inveterate satirist.
