15402	Dickinson, Anna E. (Anna Elizabeth)	What Answer?			.txt	text/plain	67288	3263	81	Said Napoleon at Austerlitz to a young Russian officer, overwhelmed with shame at yielding his sword, Young man, be consoled: those who are conquered by my soldiers may still have titles to glory. Sunday followed,--a day filled not with a Sabbath calm, but with the stillness felt in nature before some awful convulsion; the silence preceding earthquake, volcano, or blasting storm; a quiet broken from Maine to the Pacific slope when the next day shone, and men roused themselves from the sleep of a night to the duty of a day, from the sleep of generations, fast merging into death, at the trumpet-call to arms,--a cry which sounded through every State and every household in the land, which, more powerful than the old songs of Percy and Douglas, brought children from their play, and old men from their chimney-corners, to emulate humanity in its strength and prime, and contest with it the opportunity to fight and die in a deathless cause.	cache/15402.txt	txt/15402.txt
