Let it be remembered that it was Andre' who gave his life for his deeds, and yet it is Andre' who is recollected with a sweet sorrow, and though Arnold lived, he had no peace. LET IT BE REMEMBERED THAT IT WAS ANDREA WHO GAVE HIS LIFE FOR HIS DEEDS AND YET IT IS ANDREA WHO IS RECOLLECTED WITH A SWEET SORROW AND THOUGH ARNOLD LIVED HE HAD NO PEACE
the digestion of his words by an eager audience?" Here I must make a revelation to you: if my manuscript has indeed been found, then I have long since been dead; and I assure you that in whatever form my existence takes in the present, I have little desire for your intrigue or goodwill. Do you think Melville is consoled in death of his miserable life by the vainglorious praises of the living? Or do you think that Poe is comforted by such avid attentions in his present abode? In truth, Melville's only rivalry is now within, and Poe's only raven that daunting memory of those truths which had escaped him in life, but which now are opened to you. More importantly, if this manuscript has been found, it proves that what is contained herein is the unerring truth. I do not write this to exonerate myself, however let me say here that I am more the Andre' than the Arnold, for I was but the emissary of history, not the traitor to humanity, and if not me then some other would have filled the void. ER DOES NOT THRIVE ON THE DIGESTION OF HIS WORDS BY AN EAGER AUDIENCE HERE I MUST MAKE A REVELATION TO YOU IF MY MANUSCRIPT HAS INDEED BEEN FOUND THEN I HAVE LONG SINCE BEEN DEAD AND I ASSURE YOU THAT IN WHATEVER FORM MY EXISTENCE TAKES IN THE PRESENT I HAVE LITTLE DESIRE FOR YOUR INTRIGUE OR GOOD WILL DO YOU THINK MELVILLE IS CONSOLED IN DEATH OF HIS MISERABLE LIFE BY THE VAINGLORIOUS PRAISES OF THE LIVING OR DO YOU THINK THAT POE IS COMFORTED BY SUCH AVID ATTENTIONS IN HIS PRESENT ABODE IN TRUTH MELVILLE'S ONLY RIVALRY IS NOW WITHIN AND POE'S ONLY RAVEN THAT DAUNTING MEMORY OF THOSE TRUTHS WHICH HAD ESCAPED HIM IN LIFE BUT WHICH NOW ARE OPEN TO YOU MORE IMPORTANTLY IF THIS MANUSCRIPT HAS BEEN FOUND IT PROVES THAT WHAT IS CONTAINED HEREIN IS THE UNERRING TRUTH I DO NOT WRITE THIS TO EXONERATE MYSELF HOWEVER LET ME SAY HERE THAT I AM MORE THE ANDREA THAN THE ARNOLD FOR I WAS BUT THE EMISSARY OF HISTORY NOT THE TRAITOR TO HUMANITY AND IF NOT ME THEN SOME OTHER WOULD HAVE FILLED THE VOID
