Long Works of Anagramming:
Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate -- we can not consecrate -- we can not hallow -- this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
=
The nation - neonate to aged - sigh, the load of Civil War. The downcast, gathered again, want to rededicate on red-tinted acreage. Heaven, fight! Lift a poor fretting people! Aid thus, Sir: loose their tether! A tacit word did calm them! Heaven, light a path! Visit, O Star of the West!
Wait! None noticed long-wind Everett after a rough-hewn giant Lincoln rose. Stood fit, erect, hat toward seven feet - Abe cut an odd figure. Brave Abe stood once; advanced; changed. What now? Virtue! August tenor cadence rang! Stoved evil! Wrought good!
Heeders told the grandchildren: "Henry V (The Fifth)? Agincourt? What of Abe Lincoln on Gettysburg?" I heed it not: "Who, Why, When, Where?" The Shock-Warrior words' aim was Freedom! Our nation's stovepipe-hatted leader eloquently celebrated freedom's new birth. More than oration, its concentrated Natural Wonder stirs deliverance, while free people draw breath.
Ah, no easy truth: a notion found conviction, that actions and great sacrifice garnered honor. But honor, he asked cast afar, redounds to the orator. See the cent - a fair trillion! - the visage esteemed if homely. View the Dakota Rushmore height! Abe: a favorite man always.
He served no idol. He honestly helped the people's government-- the benefit that the vigilant defend, when the Foe hath Freedom hostage -Tripoli, Verdun, St-Lo, Manhattan. Ah, hope's birth! What polarity: larval half-hope - Aha! Restored!
Hi! Let us be the Devoted, all! I, the fortunate have Thee: Liberty!
(by Dennis R. Ridley)
The Curse of the Ring (from The Lord of the Rings)
In the land of Mordor, where the shadows lie,
One Ring to rule them all,
One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all,
And in the darkness, bind them.
=
Who fears Nine Morgul men,
A lot of bandit demons,
The gathering torrent,
And Him, one Dark Lord
Sheltered within His hell?
Men, blind to the One Ring.
