The poem below describes an artist who idealizes his subjects — meaning he paints them as he would like to remember them, not as how they are in real life. The poem is a Petrarchan sonnet, which would normally follow the rhyme scheme noted at the left. How does the poem's break in this rhyme scheme in its final line help provide greater meaning in the poem? a One face looks out from all his canvases, b One selfsame figure sits or walks or leans: b We found her hidden just behind those screens, a That mirror gave back all her loveliness. a A queen in opal or in ruby dress, b A nameless girl in freshest summer-greens, b A saint, an angel; —every canvass means a The same one meaning, neither more nor less. c He feeds upon her face by day and night, d And she with true kind eyes looks back on him, c Fair as the moon and joyful as the light: d Not wan with waiting, not with sorrow dim; c Not as she is, but was when hope shone bright; d Not as she is, but as she fills his dream. —Christina Georgina Rossetti, "In an Artist's Studio"

the third paragraph is your answer,

"but, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow — this ground. the brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. the world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. it is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. it is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us— that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under god, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
