Commemorated with Memorials

Blog Posted:3/3/2008 8:08:00 AM

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow February 27, 1807—March 24, 1882 was an American poet whose works include “Paul Revere’s Ride”, “The Song of Hiawatha” and “Evangeline”.  In 1884 Henry Wadsworth Longfellow was the first and only American poet for whom a commemorative sculpted bust was placed in Poet’s Corner of Westminster Abbey in London. 

Well has it been said that there is no grief like the grief which does not speak. _Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Poets’ Corner is the name traditionally given to a section of  Westminster Abbey due to the number of poets, playwrights and writers buried and commemorated there.

Well, I guess there is something nice about kindred spirits being close together in their final resting place. Love, Shar
