Wadsworth

Famous quotes containing the word wadsworth:

    Like a French poem is life; being only perfect in structure
    When with the masculine rhymes mingled the feminine are.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    Under a spreading chestnut-tree
    The village smithy stands;
    The smith, a mighty man is he,
    With large and sinewy hands;
    And the muscles of his brawny arms
    Are strong as iron bands.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    I heard the trailing garments of the Night
    Sweep through her marble halls!
    I saw her sable skirts all fringed with light
    From the celestial walls!
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
