Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Battle of Long-Island
History and time are ours the index and dial-plate which measure our span, the foundations of our knowledge, and the standard of our computation, the instruments of spiritual and material comparison. But the one sits, like a queen, upon a throne, robed in purple, a sceptre in her hand, and on her brow a diadem, wherein each race of men enshrine a new jewel. Heroes and statesmen are her courtiers, and the brightest shapes of human intelligence hover around her. The other is creation's slave, fate's executioner unerringly reckoning the debt of man and of nature, the minutes of life, the seasons of the year. He reaps, with a pitiless scythe, Harvests of souls by Hope matured, Garlands of self-devoted ?owers; The spirit bright to life scarce lured, The heart that mourns its saddened hours.'
