snarfmaster C Posted August 13, 2003 Report Share Posted August 13, 2003 To be carved on the mountain in letters three feet high: WHEN THE COURSE OF HISTORY HAS BEEN TOLD LET THESE TRUTHS HERE CARVED BE KNOWN: CONSCIENCE DICTATES CIVILIZATIONS LIVE AND DUTY OURS TO PLACE BEFORE THE WORLD, A CHRONICLE WHICH WILL LONG ENDURE. FOR LIKE ALL THINGS UNDER US AND BEYOND INEVITABLY WE MUST PASS INTO OBLIVION. THIS LAND OF REFUGE TO THE STRANGER WAS OURS FOR COUNTLESS EONS BEFORE: CIVILIZATIONS MAJESTIC AND MIGHTY. OUR GIFTS WERE MANY WHICH WE SHARED AND GRATITUDE FOR THEM WAS KNOWN. BUT LATER, GIVEN MY OPPRESSED ONES WERE MURDER, RAPE AND SANGUINE WAR. LOOKING EAST FROM WHENCE INVADERS CAME, GREEDY USURPERS OF OUR HERITAGE. FOR US THE PAST IS IN OUR HEARTS, THE FUTURE NEVER TO BE FULFILLED. TO YOU I GIVE THIS GRANITE EPIC FOR YOUR DESCENDANTS TO ALWAYS KNOW-- "MY LANDS ARE WHERE MY DEAD LIE BURIED." © Korczak Ziolkowski, Sculptor Crazy Horse Memorial, Black Hills, S. D. right on.
