Wadsworth Longfellow

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

    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)

    There is a mountain in the distant West
    That, sun-defying, in its deep ravines
    Displays a cross of snow upon its side.
    Such is the cross I wear upon my breast
    These eighteen years, through all the changing scenes
    And seasons, changeless since the day she died.
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)

    A wind came up out of the sea,
    And said, “O mists, make room for me.”
    —Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1809–1882)
