Excerpt from Chamberlain's 1889 speech...
"In great deeds something abides. On great fields something stays. Forms
change and pass; bodies disappear; but spirits linger, to consecrate ground
for the vision-place of souls. And reverent men and women from afar, and
generations that know us not and that we know not of, heart-drawn to see
where and by whom great things were suffered and done for them, shall come
to this deathless field, to ponder and dream; and lo! the shadow of a mighty
presence shall wrap them in its bosom, and the power of the vision pass into
their souls."
