Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, given November 19, 1863
on the battlefield near Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, USA
#STARTMARK#
Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth
upon 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 battlefield of that war.

The second excerpt represents the present or the deciding factor of the moment, and is drawn from Resurrection by Leo Tolstoy: He would also give no news of Kryltzoff, saying he could not even
tell if there was such a prisoner; and so Nekhludoff, having
accomplished next to nothing, got into his trap and drove back to
his hotel.
The strictness of the inspector was chiefly due to the fact that
an epidemic of typhus had broken out in the prison, owing to
twice the number of persons that it was intended for being
crowded in it. The isvostchik who drove Nekhludoff said, "Quite a
lot of people are dying in the prison every day, some kind of
disease having sprung up among them, so that as many as twenty
were buried in one day."
