Lincoln Monument: Washington Comments

FIRST ONE: Short but a very powerful poem, an honest tribute to Abraham Lincoln, the USA president who forbade forever slavery in the USA. Fascinating poem as only Langston could create. Amazingly captured

my FINAL COMMENT; This poem, published in 1926, pays tribute to Lincoln at a time when Washington, DC was still a segregated city. TOP Marks

CONTINUED: Langston Hughes (1902-67) , widely known as a leader of the 1920s Harlem Renaissance, brought the African American struggle for civil rights into the public sphere with his novels, plays, and poems..

To see old Abe! ! Thanks for sharing this poem with us.

A voice for Against the timeless walls of time Old Abe An awesome conceptualization.

I visited this monument in June. The eyes and hands of it are particularly life-like and well done. -GK

Just like time and space, which have no ends, edges and corners, AL's voice too have no ends, edges and corners. They are not time bound even. Brilliantly crafted poem. Congrats on your positioning. X

'And yet a voice forever' A voice echoing down the timeless walls.

A great write on Lincoln. It is right that it has been selected as the poem of the day.

Yes- the monument of Abraham Lincoln is Timeless walls of time ///

Such a great poem by Langston Hughes................

Lincoln may have been carved in the marble but the great values he upheld and ideals he fought for will live for ever and cannot be petrified. So, the poem gives reason for Lincoln Museum to be there in Washington.

And yet a voice forever Against the Timeless walls Of time- Old Abe. Yes Abraham Lincoln will remain the voice forever against all injustice. A man who said his word and left but it is still there.
