The poor too often turn away unheard, From hearts that shut against them with a sound That will be heard in heaven.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowThere are moments in life, when the heart is so full of emotion That if by chance it be shaken, or into its depths like a pebble Drops some careless word, it overflows, and its secret, Spilt on the ground like water, can never be gathered together.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowIntelligence and courtesy not always are combined; Often in a wooden house a golden room we find.
Henry Wadsworth LongfellowI am never indifferent, and never pretend to be, to what people say or think of my books. They are my children, and I like to have them liked.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
