Était-ce le pont de Longfellow...

Premium Member The Raven and The Bard
The Raven and the Bard -Daniel Henry Rodgers The Raven's quill drips shades of blackest night, Its haunting words, a melody of fright. The Bard's natural lines, like "Evangeline's" fair hair, Shed history's warm light to chase away all care . From shadowed chambers where dark ravens shriek, To hearthside tales that bygone glories speak; The Raven and the Bard, in Inky War...

Defeat, My Defeat - From Masters
I Think - but don't make THINKING "your aim" - "Don't look too good ... or lose common touch" I learned from past masters, one name Is Kipling. Khalil Gibran. Thanks. Much!

Longfellow's Hades
My aunt was a weirdo: she talked to trees, walked around the house naked and used to read me “The Metamorphoses” by Ovid and “The Song of Hiawatha” by Longfellow as a bedtime story. “Oom-ta-ta, oom-ta-ta”, - dactyl waltzed, pages rustled and I came down dactylic stairs into my personal Hades of dreams. Beavers are in...

Resurrecting Longfellow Relegated as a minor poet Longfellow's Psalm returns as memory from a long-ago classroom.. Is it time to look again..? Two verses may suffice..
