Excerpt from The Ulster Guard at Gettysburg on the First Three Days of July; 1863The enemy's van was at them. And where was our army delayed?In a belfry stood gallant Buford; and watched for the northern aid.The dust of the First Corp '3 coming was a trailing; glorious cloud.The full; red disk on the banners was a sun-like symbol and proud.The blue-coated succor and rescue marched up the Emmitsburg road And across the swale where; not know ing; Stevens Run peacefully flowed.Welcome; magnificent; thrilling was the spectacle to behold; As the ranks; at double-quick moving throu' the harvest '8 swaying gold; Swept up Oak Ridge and deployed there; on the crest; in battle array; Their arms and accouterments gleaming in the July light of day.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Review
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. A Great Mahayana Shastra. By DT Suzuki.By Atisha DipankaraNo fluff here; Straight to the point and concise. Though modern scholars say this was composed way later and not by the Author it is attributed to...that does not diminish it's supreme importance.A Great Bridge between Nagarjuna and Asanga.Mainly a treatise about the Sunyata and how the lower mind produces all that we see and experience; it; Like the Lankavatara; does not in my estimation equate with Yogacharya and Asanga's more complicated beliefs in the reality of the Conventional reality.Get your highlighter out. Though complex and complete; no preparatory study is needed in my opinion. This is the one. Forget about Richards. Hakeda's translation is great for those more geared towards academic and Tibetan writings. For those more inclined towardsMipham; Gorampa; Lonchenpa; Dolpopa; or Sakya Pandita's very articulate writings. Goddard's text is more free flowing and Chan orientedreaders. Hakeda.
