“Once
to every man and nation, comes the moment to decide,
In
the strife of truth with falsehood, for the good or evil side;
Some
great cause, some great decision, offering each the bloom or blight,
And
the choice goes by forever, ’twixt that darkness and that light.”— James
Russell Lowell (1819-1891), “The Present Crisis,” Boston Courier, December
11, 1845
