Wadsworth

Famous quotes containing the word wadsworth:

    Toiling,—rejoicing,—sorrowing,
    Onward through life he goes;
    Each morning sees some task begin,
    Each evening sees its close;
    Something attempted, something done,
    Has earned a night’s repose.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    The course of my long life hath reached at last
    In fragile bark o’er a tempestuous sea
    The common harbor, where must rendered be
    Account for all the actions of the past.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    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)
