Excerpt from Alice Thornton Adams: 1887 1908 How beautiful is the memory Of the dead! What a holy thing it is in the human heart, and what a chastening inuence it sheds upon human life! How it subdues all the harshness that grows up within us in the daily intercourse with the world! How it melts our unkindness, softens our pride, kindles our deepest love, and awakens our highest aspirations!
