tell whether it was
rising or setting – now know
… it is a setting sun
According to the National Parks Website about Independence Hall in Philadelphia, … George Washington used this chair for nearly three months of the Federal Convention’s continuous sessions. James Madison reported Benjamin Franklin saying … “I have often looked at that behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now I… know that it is a rising sun.“
If Dr. Franklin was alive today and reading the papers, it is easy to imagine him saying, ” … I have often looked at that behind the president without being able to tell whether it was rising or setting. But now I … know that it is a setting sun.“
