Explanation:

In James Joyce's short story "Araby," the narrator looks forwars to going to the bazaar to buy a present for the girl he likes, Mangan's sister. However, even though he promises her that he would buy her something and is expecting to find a fabulous place, his drunk uncle takes him to the bazaar too late and most of the stalls are closed. In fact, the place looks grey, gloomy and unpleasant.

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.
