Edwin Markham (1852–1940) describes the creation of Lincoln by the "Norm Mother" taking the "tried clay of the common road" fashioning it as "a man to hold against the world, / A man to match the mountains and the seas." Markham writes "The grip that swung the as in Illinois / Was on the pen that set a people free." Lincoln was born in 1908, and plans are already underway for great bi-centennial celebrations. Here is a wonderful piece of Lincolniana.
