and placed it inthe memorial. The magnificent figure is far more thansomething cut from stone. It is an ideal inconcrete form; it represents something ofwhat the American people feel Lincoln tohave been. It gives a glimpse of what hehimself may have hoped to be, as a man, asa leader of men, and as a molder of the des-tinies of men. Its hands express a strengthwhich might fell a tree, or guide a disruptednations ship of state into a safe and peacefulharbor. An awesome figure, yet, singularlykind and knowable; cold white marble, yetmarvelously alive and human. The face isaustere, yet beautiful despite its gauntness.The brooding eyes seem full of understanding,sympathy, and kindness. The visitor will be alone with Lincoln,Mr. French said one day while the statue wasbeing placed in its present position. Thewords were prophetic, for each person whostands in that quiet hall and looks at Lin-coln, has an uncanny feeling that he is alonewith the great and kindly soul of the mansitting there.
