Monuments are the grappling-irons that bind one generation t

Summary

This quote suggests that monuments play a significant role in connecting different generations. Just like a grappling-iron holds two things together, monuments serve as physical structures that bridge the past and the present. They provide a tangible link that allows each generation to understand and relate to the experiences, values, and history of those who came before. Monuments help preserve collective memory, transmit cultural heritage, and foster a sense of continuity, ensuring that the lessons and legacies of previous generations are not forgotten and remain relevant to subsequent ones.

You must teach your children that the ground beneath their feet is the ashes of your grandfathers. So that they will respect the land, tell your children that the earth is rich with the lives of our kin. Teach your children what we have taught our children, that the earth is our mother. Whatever befalls the earth befalls the sons of the earth. If men spit upon the ground, they spit upon themselves.
