But the Christianity of the New Testament is precisely related to the isolation of the spiritual man.”

This is the great inner dialogue we call prayer.”

Whitman had grown up without much formal education; Lincoln had scarcely any education. One had become the notable poet of the day; one the orator of the Gettsyburg Address.
