- W145731072 abstract "On the summit of Arlington National Cemetery, a rotunda, com memorating the sunken cruiser Maine with one of its masts preserved as a central penetrating shaft, stands slightly above the noble classical tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Temporarily entombed in this small monument is the universally known Ignacy Jan Paderewski. Born a hundred years ago in Podolia, Poland, he lies there since his death on June 29, 1941, until the day his body will be borne to the ancient; castle of Wawel in Cracow to join the heroes of his nation. For the present, therefore, he shares the fate, as he does the fame, of Chopin whose body still lies in foreign soil, in the Pere-La-Chaise Cemetery in Paris, although Chopin's heart, by his deathbed request, was returned to Poland where it is contained in an urn in the Church of the Holy Cross in Warsaw. During his 81 years, Paderewski left upon this earth an imprint of an immortal worthy of reflection during this centennial observation of his birth. Not only did he bring to every civilized nation the beautiful sound of the instrument of which he was monarch, but he also spoke to the world of human freedom through song and sacrifice. Thus he fulfilled his own precept: La patrie avant tout, Tart ensuite. Even the most casual inquiry into the life of this pianist-statesman reveals a poet and humanitarian endowed with titanic courage and capacity for work. Moreover, he possessed unique physical attributes which inspired many a painter. Numerous canvasses portray the periods of his life. Burne-Jones in his famous silver/point drawing, depicts Paderewski in early manhood with an aura of golden-auburn hair, a composite of Sir Galahad and the Archangel Gabriel, while the latter day Styka portrait shows the great and mature master, now referred to by his nation as Mr. President. The head is noble, intellectual; the mane is silver-auburn and less luxuriant The eyes cast a soft leonine look, the nose is sculptured, the calm mouth is partly con cealed by a soft reddish mustache and a slightly bearded lower lip. The clean chin completes a beautifully proportioned countenance. Insofar 19" @default.
