No gilded dome swells from the lowly roof to catch the morning or evening beam; but the love and gratitude of united America settle upon it in one eternal sunshine.

There he lived in noble simplicity, there he died in glory and peace.

Edward Everett HaleFor all mankind that unstained scroll unfurled, Where God might write anew the story of the World.
