Wadsworth

Famous quotes containing the word wadsworth:

    Out of the bosom of the Air,
    Out of the cloud-folds of her garments shaken,
    Over the woodlands brown and bare,
    Over the harvest-fields forsaken,
    Silent, and soft, and slow
    Descends the snow.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    It was the schooner Hesperus,
    That sailed the wintry sea;
    And the skipper had taken his little daughter,
    To bear him company.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    The shades of night were falling fast,
    As through an Alpine village passed
    A youth, who bore, ‘mid snow and ice,
    A banner with the strange device,
    Excelsior!
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
