For years we saw the intellectual curtain falling but believed we could pull ourselves together in a crisis. Now the crisis is here and we still can't shake the obsessions, as if paralyzed in some nightmare.
Lincoln in his second inaugural recalled that at the beginning of the crisis everyone hoped to escape the woe due to those "by whom the offenses cometh". But as the crisis wore on he realized the judgment was inescapable.
That what goes around comes around is what every person once learned growing up. And so the "just so" era learns it again, by God's grace before it's too late.
"Fondly do we hope ~ fervently do we pray ~ that this mighty scourge of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk and until every drop of blood drawn ...
... with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword as was said three thousand years ago so still it must be said 'the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.'"
