In
great deeds something abides. On great fields something stays. Forms
change and pass; bodies disappear; but spirits linger, to consecrate
ground for the vision-place of souls. And reverent men and women from
afar, and generations that know us not and that we know not of,
heart-drawn to see where and by whom great things were suffered and
done for them, shall come to this deathless field, to ponder and dream;
and lo! the shadows of a mighty presence shall wrap them in its bosom,
and the power of the vision pass into their souls.
-Major General Joshua Chamberlain, Commander, 20th Maine Regiment, at Gettysburg, Oct. 3, 1889. |

And thou who thinkest to seek for me, know thy seeking
and yearning shall avail thee not, unless thou knowest the mystery; that if
that which thou seekest thou findest not within thee, then thou shalt never
find it without thee. For behold, I have been with thee from the beginning; and
I am that which is attained at the end of desire.
-From The Charge of the Goddess.
