Wadsworth Longfellow

Famous quotes containing the words wadsworth longfellow, wadsworth and/or longfellow:

    Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing,
    Only a signal shown and a distant voice in the darkness;
    So on the ocean of life we pass and speak one another,
    Only a look and a voice; then darkness again and a silence.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882)

    Pride and humiliation hand in hand
    Walked with them through the world where’er they went;
    Trampled and beaten were they as the sand,
    And yet unshaken as the continent.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    O holy Night! from thee I learn to bear
    What man has borne before!
    Thou layest thy finger on the lips of Care,
    And they complain no more.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
