Excerpt from The Story of Wendell Phillips: Soldier of the Common Good
Men and women, all under the sway of a passionate excitement, many half maniacal with rage, have crowded the hall to the limit of its capacity. All are upon their feet, surging, shouting, screaming, gesticulating. On the platform before them is a tall, grave, handsome man, waiting to be heard. Without bravado, s without concern, he stands and waits. Part of the audience desires to hear him; part desires to drown his voice with clamors; part is determined to take his life.
He stands and waits. Even his foes, looking upon him there, admit it is a remarkable figure against which they storm.
