Every family has enough of stirring and momentous deeds set to its credit to ennoble it, as well as to enrich history and bless the world. There is more great history as yet unwritten, that well might serve a useful purpose in the world and lift our thoughts to better things, than now occupies the pages Of what we call literature. These actions were performed by those that we call humble, unknown beyond their own small circle. Human nature has a capacity for greatness, in the midst of many things that are petty, and some that are despicable. Some of these are recorded, but the most are known only to the few, or have already faded out of the memory Of those who wrought them. And yet it is just these that Show how rich a field we have in human action and accomplishment. Not all can be recorded; it is only the few that in some strange way find their place in written history, and emphasize the old saw, As good fish in the sea as ever were caught. All this is true of the following pages. It is the gathering up Of the fragments, of which we would there were more. SO we set down these items, not for egotism but for profit.
John Cary: The Plymouth Pilgrim. E-book. Formato PDF Seth Cooley Cary - Forgotten Books, 2017 -
The age of chivalry has passed away; We cannot now on tourney-fields display Our strength and courage; neither did we ?ee From native land to find beyond the sea Freedom and justice; these we now possess, And need not seek them in 'the wilderness. Yet even now must we fierce battles fight, And firmly stand as champions of the right. Valor is needed if we hope to win Our victories over greed, and wrong and sin. The roses white must we preserve from stain, And other trophies by our valor gain. Then let each one who bears the Cary name Remember whence his shield and motto came; Remember, too, the one who brought them o'er The ocean's waves to this New England shore. 'all that the fathers have by valor gained Must by the sons be valiantly maintained. Then take the shield; go forward to the fight; Guard well the roses; may their silvery light Shine on brave deeds performed for truth and right.
