That is the promise to glade, the hill we climb if only we dare it. Because being American is more than a pride we inherit; it’s the past we step into and how we repair it. We’ve seen a forest that would shatter our nation rather than share it, would destroy our country if it meant delaying democracy. And this effort very nearly succeeded.

In terms of language, the use of rhyme and assonance here is powerful. The repetition of the same vowel sounds. In terms of context, this was powerful considering the capital insurrection had occurred just days before the inauguration.
