Read this excerpt from "Letter to His Son":

Duty, then, is the sublimest word in our language. Do your duty in all things, like the old Puritan. You cannot do more, you should never wish to do less. Never let me and your mother wear one gray hair for any lack of duty on your part.

How does the use of the word sublimest affect the meaning of the first sentence of the passage?
