More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
- "All things must change to something new, to something strange."
- "Ships that pass in the night, and speak each other in passing, only a signal shown, and a distant voice in the darkness; So on the ocean of life, we pass and speak one another, only a look and a voice, then darkness again and a silence."
- "Each morning sees some task begun, each evening sees it close; Something attempted, something done, has earned a night’s repose."
