On Lincoln and Churchill eloquence in their speech presentation

Leechard,

I like your article on Hitler way of speech presentation very much. It has not only served as a guide to study the eloquence of Hitler, but also to study the cause of the bad energy which has been dominating one in 20th century, the century of downward thinking.

Indeed, besides Hitler, Winston Churchill, the great British prime minister in the war with Hitlerism, is also a great orator as well. His speech on 10th May, 1940, when he accepted King’s commission to form the all-party Government to lead the British nation and its Commonwealth and colonies in Second World War, when Germany launched its attack upon France, Netherland, and Belgium, is still electrifying and amazed by many readers and fans. There are so many famous lines in his speech, for example,” I have nothing to offer but blood,toil, tears and sweat”, when he warned his countrymen that they must prepare for a great scarifies in the war, Let us go forward with our united strength, when he asked for the unity of British in the war against that formidable foe. It is his speech which, not only lighten the hope of British, but also the hope of people living in occupied territories, that Britain could and would bring the war with the defeat of aggressors. The spirit of British, after hearing his encouraging words, rose up to a very high level, higher than it had ever achieved at any time when the appeasement policy was carried and the notorious Munich Agreement was signed. I think, using the time-honored word of American journalist, he mobilized the British language and send it into battle.

Apart from Churchill, Lincoln, US President in the Civil War, was also a great orator as well. Do you still remember the Gettysburg Address? In this address, he proclaimed one great idea: Government of the people, for the people, with the people, shall never be perished from the Earth This is one of the most memorable line in his speech, and I think it is the power of this speech that has not only given the energy to the people fighting for the Union Cause in the war, but also given the energy to many other great nationalists after Lincoln.

Here I am very glad to introduce two YouTube video on the great speech of two orators, and indeed politicians in Western World.

Winston Churchill speech “It was their finest Hour” is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkTw3_PmKtc. Winston Churchill speech:” Address to Joint Session of Congress” in December 1941 is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DiVIpZikl-Y&feature=related. Abraham Lincoln Gettysburg Address is : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BvA0J_2ZpIQ. I think these YouTube videos and audios could been a good source for your information. You may also ask bookstores, DVD and tape shops to have other versions of these speeches.

I hope, as a way to inspire all gentleman and ladies in your blogs, you could consider writing an article or a series of article, introducing the eloquence of these great gentleman, who have rendered service not only to their nation, but to the achievement of the human being. In this way could we regain the power, the power which has driven us to the age of Romanticism in 19th Century, that could make our living planet the better place to live in.

I wish I could hear your comments made on this subject.

Best wishes,
William
