The greatness of words

For some reason, I can't seem to upload images to my blogger pages, so until I figure it out, things will consist of soley boring ol' words. I'm kidding of course, and to prove it I'll share with you one of the best quotes I've read – maybe ever. There's an article in the April issue of National Geographic about reclaiming the battlefields of the civil war from urban sprawl. Get this, a used car lot is currently on top of where Gettysburg was fought. I know, I know, you just want to see the quote already…

"Generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things suffered and done for them, shall come to this deathless field, to ponder and dream."

— Union General Joshua L. Chamberlain

O if I could be even half as poetic I'd be happy. But I revel in the loveliness of words and how they impart their meaning upon me. Let it never be said that I was not moved by words, but that on the contrary, I would feel deeply by all that is written or spoken deserving of such response.
