Rivers of time --
Why should the spirit of man be proud? --
On the pilgrimage road --
Revolt against the fathers --
Years of meteors --
My troubles have just begun --

The fiery trial --
The new reckoning --
Mighty scourge of war --
"Moody, tearful night."

Here is Lincoln the substantially wealthy, self made man, who was fascinated by madness and obsessed with death. He cracked jokes, but he also wrote poetry. Here is Lincoln the devoted family man, who had to bear uncommon losses and disappointments. Here is Lincoln the startlingly shrewd politician, who knew when to capitulate to his foes and when to stand firm.
