THE SCARLET ANNE DAHLIA IS NAMED IN HONOR OF THE BOOK 
“SCARLET ANNE” 
By Theda Kenyon 
In writing of her appreciation, Miss Kenyon says: “The story of Anne Hutch¬ 
inson on SCARLET ANNE is particularly significant today. With the spiritual 
freedom of the whole world menaced it is well to recall this brave woman whose 
courage established for us our own liberty when she dared oppose the entire 
Puritan Council in her struggle for freedom of conscience of petition of assembl¬ 
ing, and of speech. Without Anne, the Constitution of Declaration of Independ¬ 
ence would have been impossible. I am deeply touched over the tribute you have 
paid to this great woman; and I know that Anne herself—a lover of all nature— 
would have been as grateful as I am.” 
FIRST CHAPTER OF SCARLET ANNE 
This is the book where generation 
Is interlocked with generation: 
This is no hour for hesitation. 
There is more here than a woman’s safety. 
Than the built-up fire and the bolted gate—- 
This is the hour of a horning nation, 
And a race in travail that will not wait; 
This is the river at the spate. 
The strong shall destroy and be destroyed; 
The weak shall be buried beside the road— 
But the. pace of the march shall not be slacked, 
And one shall gain what another lacked. 
Despite the yoke, and the pricking goad. 
Moor and rock and desert and prairie, 
Sea to sunset and back again— 
Raise the head though the feet be weary. 
Never say that the task is vain— 
Never say that the vision changes: 
If one shall live, though a thousand die. 
One shall carry the dream and burden. 
One shall remember the battle cry.
