The speeches of Lincoln are some of the finest uses of the English language in existence. They rank directly with the King James Bible and Shakespeare.

Glad you feel that way Milos; I do too. I got towards the end and realized it wasn't just the individual words; in fact most of them are quite pedestrian. But the phrasing was getting to me, so started entering ridiculously long phrases... but they're so ... "poetic" isn't the word. They've entered the lexicon or the general subconscious, or something. They instantly call to mind the time, the place, and the situation. I think the last paragraph is just chock full of incredible ideas and beautiful phrasing.

Lincoln had a way of being eloquent without being flowery; he realized that the key to great speaking is sentence structure in basic English with a few choice words thrown in, rather than a thousand polysyllables all in a gangling heap.

Though there's occasionally something to be said for gangling heaps.

Only if they're not gangling heaps of words, I'd say.

I like that it's from March 4 (now known as "National Grammar Day").
