Longfellow

Famous quotes containing the word longfellow:

“It whispered to the fields of corn,
“Bow down, and hail the coming morn.”

It shouted through the belfry tower,
“Awake, O bell! proclaim the hour.”

It crossed the churchyard with a sigh,
And said, “Not yet! in quiet lie.””
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

“Cedar: Now would you tell the court what everybody at home thinks of Longfellow Deeds?
Jane Faulkner: They think he’s pixilated.
Amy Faulkner: Oh, yes. Pixilated.”
—Robert Riskin (1897–1955)

“This is the poem of the air,
Slowly in silent syllables recorded;
This is the secret of despair,
Long in its cloudy bosom hoarded,
Now whispered and revealed
To wood and field.”
—Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
