THE LINCOLN MEMORIAL AND ITS REFLECTING POOL, SEEN EROM THE TOP OE THE 



WASHINGTON MONUMENT 



"Here on the banks of the Potomac, the boundary between the two sections, whose 

 conflict made the burden, passion, and. triumph of his life, it is peculiarly appropriate that it 

 should stand. Visible in its distant beauty from the Capitol, whose great dome typifies the 

 Union which he saved, seen in all its grandeur from Arlington, where lie the Nation's 

 honored dead who fell in the conflict, Union and Confederate alike, it marks the restoration 

 of the brotherly love of the two sections in this memorial of one who is as dear to the 

 hearts of the South as to those of the North" (see page 204).
