Excerpt from Abraham Lincoln the Type of American Genius: An Historical Romance Among the first forms of written literature poetry was to be found. Why not.? It is the measure of human emotions. It searches the heart and brings to light those subtle forces that make nations spring into existence and rise in grandeur. It is the propelling force that accumulates and concentrates power, and vitalizes this power into active use for universal good, and these were the first ambitions of man. Nations go into decadence plethoric with physical wealth, but impoverished in the generous sentiment of which poetry is the inspiration, for they are like a body without a soul, - impotent to economize their own strength and make it harmonize with the general welfare necessary to their preservation.
