"Every name ... is a lightning stroke to some heart"

"Every name ... is a lightning stroke to some heart, and breaks like thunder over some home, and falls a long black shadow upon some hearthstone." -- from a Gettysburg newspaper, a few days after the battle

See this link for the quote, in context, in George Will: Gettysburg as it deserves to be remembered.

(h/t: Atticus)
