Longfellow

Famous quotes containing the word longfellow:

    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)

    A feeling of sadness and longing
    That is not akin to pain,
    And resembles sorrow only
    As the mist resembles the rain.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    A wind came up out of the sea,
    And said, “O mists, make room for me.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
