  • Lincoln's Gettysburg Address(November 19, 1863)/에이브러햄 링컨의 게티스버그 연설
    Review/Music 2005. 6. 20. 10:39
    Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

    Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation or any nation so conceived and so dedicated can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.

    We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

    But, in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract.

    The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here.
    It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.
    It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us, that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion, that we here highly resolve that
    these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.


    요즘 내가 외우려고 하는 연설문이다.
    왠지 이 연설문을 보고, 듣노라면 내 가슴이 뜨거워지는 이유는 뭘까.
    미국인도 아닌 한국인인 내 가슴이 말이다.
    단지 266단어로 이루어진 이 연설문 하나가
    나라는 사람을 감동케한다.
    진정한 자유를 부르짖기 위해 몸부림치는 한 자유인의 모습이...
