Ecclesiasticus.
Let us now praise famous men and our fathers that begat us. The Lord hath wrought great glory through them by His great power from the beginning.
There be of them that have left a name behind them that their praises might be reported, and some there be which have no memorial who are perished as though they had never been.
Their name shall remain forever and their glory shall not be blotted out; their bodies are buried in peace but their name liveth for evermore ; the people will tell of their wisdom, and the congregation will show forth their praise.
Finis rerum. Where are our heroes, where are our glorious ancestors now ? Sleeping eternally or can we resurrect them in this most atrocious of times ?
“ Where is Plantagenet ? They are entombed in the urns and sepulchres of mortality “
As the age seeks to annihilate the past, every effort, every thought, every word ought to be devoted to the preservation of that past and the rejuvenation of our arid minds by the superiority of the past.
