Famous quotes containing the words long and/or cross:
“I have been long a sleeper; but I trust
My absence doth neglect no great design
Which by my presence might have been concluded.”

“There is a mountain in the distant West
That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
And seasons, changeless since the day she died.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
