Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

What seem to us but sad, funereal tapers
May be heaven's distant lamps.

Stars of the summer night!
Far in yon azure deeps,
Hide, hide your golden light!
She sleeps!
My lady sleeps!

But oftentimes celestial benedictions
Assume this dark disguise.

Not enjoyment, and not sorrow, Is our destined end or way; But to act, that each tomorrow Find us farther than today. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
