Excerpt from A Poem Delivered Before the Connecticut Alpha of the Phi Beta Kappa Society at Yale College: New Haven, July 30, 1851 To View Oppression's face with hate and scorn; Trample its chains, and, looking up to heaven, Breast every storm that on it may be driven. Pilgrim in soul and thought as well as deed, Leaving old maxims for a newer creed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
