NUMBER:5521
AUTHOR:Daniel Webster (1782–1852)
QUOTATION:When my eyes shall be turned to behold for the last time the sun in heaven, may I not see him shining on the broken and dishonored fragments of a once glorious Union; on States dissevered, discordant, belligerent; on a land rent with civil feuds, or drenched, it may be, in fraternal blood.
ATTRIBUTION:Second Speech on Foot’s Resolution, Jan. 26, 1830. P. 342.
