Thoughts from the past

Dear Laddie:

The Train (for Christmas) More - The Sermon, The Dwarf, Dad, The Soldier; they're all good (except for the ones that are actually about celestial navigation).

That tidbit of history weighs heavy on any who considers Patrick Henry:
"...it is useful to consider how Henry's quiet struggle to comfort a wife gone mad might have given intensity to his political rhetoric. Without evidence we cannot say for sure, but hearing the word of the Liberty or Death speech, one cannot help but wonder how his thoughts of a straight jacketed wife, in a dark basement room, struggling with a sickness that would not go away, might not have influenced the manner in which he spoke of the Colonies with a stubborn and intractable England." Could Henry's situation have inspired the words "Is life so dear, or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?"
Are we so dense today that we cannot imagine the feel of chains nor the pain of slavery!
