Additional quotes by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The nearer the dawn
the darker the night.

Silently one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.

Time has laid his hand
Upon my heart, gently, not smiting it,
But as a harper lays his open palm
Upon his harp, to deaden its vibrations.

The air is full of farewells to the dying, And mournings for the dead. - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
