The holiest of all holidays are those
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries of the heart,

Like swallows singing down each wind that blows!

by solemn acts of devotion to God Almighty. It ought to be
solemnized with pomp and parade, with shows, games, sports, guns,
bells, bonfires, and illuminations, from one end of the continent
to the other, from this time forward forevermore.
