Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The surest pledge of a deathless name
Is the silent homage of thoughts unspoken.

What land is this? Yon pretty town Is Delft, with all its wares displayed:
The pride, the market-place, the crown And centre of the Potter's trade.

It was the schooner Hesperus,
That sailed the wintry sea;
And the skipper had taken his little daughter,
To bear him company.

There is no greater sorrow Than to be mindful of the happy time In misery. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
