Time rolls rapidly—and the events we meet to revive are already
history. CLARA BARTON.
Clara Barton—before the growing strength and power of her sweet
spirit, the armies of the world shall some day halt and ground arms.
Madison (Wis.) _Journal_.
Worcester has even a tenderer affection than all humanity for Clara
Barton, the “Angel of the Battlefield.” She was in her Oxford birth a
Worcester County Contributor to the world’s upward move. Worcester
(Mass.) _Post_.
Her career as a nurse in the battlefields of the Civil War ranks high
among the achievements of women in human history. In the roll of the
centuries no other name will stand higher nor shine brighter than that
of the modest, the loving, the loyal, the world-wide patriot. Worcester
(Mass.) _Gazette_.
MILLIONS WILL REGARD THE SIMPLICITY OF THE END. Worcester (Mass.)
_Telegram_.
She lives whom we call dead. HENRY W. LONGFELLOW.
To die is to begin to live. RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
Death borders on our birth and our cradle stands in the grave.
BISHOP HALL—_Epistles_.
Death but entombs the body; life, the soul;—death is the crown of
life. YOUNG’S _Night Thoughts_.
How sleep the brave who sink to rest
By all their Country’s wishes blest!
WILLIAM COLLINS.
Nor shall your story be forgot,
While Fame her record keeps,
Or Honor points the hallowed spot
Where Valor proudly sleeps.
THEODORE O’HARA.
