Wadsworth

Famous quotes containing the word wadsworth:

    For the structure that we raise,
    Time is with materials filled;
    Our to-days and yesterdays
    Are the blocks with which we build.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    Morality without religion is only a kind of dead reckoning—an endeavor to find our place on a cloudy sea by measuring the distance we have run, but without any observation of the heavenly bodies.
    —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)
