The praises of the dead '

Praising certain people..Of various stripe.'
In a multitude, of positions... is part of
Our human type.' Its quite easy to observe.
Why it does happen.? Encouragement is needed some light ( not too overpowering! )
And in this event something great is ceded.' Lets
Suppose you laud Dickens or Twain or Sam Adams or Churchill or De Gaulle, or Revere.? You will find one thing repeated..
And i'm not just being drear.' Dickens was want to womanise, Twain had his 'angel fish?' Churchill was an occoultist..Despite
What you might wish.? I shall not bore you
Further.. For such appears to me.? All humankind who praise or rise.? In death they presently be.' So lift your mind and eyes and soul..And praise the Eternal Lord
Whose kingdom is neverending.' And who
Can deliver us 'through His Word.)
