More from Charles Sumner
It is a cause which, though long kept in check throughout our country, as also in Europe, now confronts the people and their rulers, demanding to be heard.
Nor should we be too impatient to witness the fulfilment of our aspirations.
Men are erring and mortal; principles are steadfast and immortal.
They who strive after it, Ixion-like, embrace a cloud.
