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.

Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Ah! What would the world be to us
If the children were no more?
We should dread the desert behind us
Worse than the dark before.

The human voice is the organ of the soul.

Lives of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us
Footprints on the sands of time;

Footprints, that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and shipwrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.
