Poetry Quote by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I do not believe anyone can be perfectly well, who has a brain and a heart”

“Unasked, Unsought, Love gives itself but is not bought”

“Sweet as the tender fragrance that survives,”

“Resolve, and thou art free.”

“If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it;”

“And in despair I bowed my head;”

“No matter how you feel you have to act”

“[Short Talk on Sylvia Plath] Did you see her mother on television? She said plain, burned things. She said I thought it an excellent poem but it hurt me. She did not say jungle fear. She did not say jungle hatred wild jungle weeping chop it back chop it. She said self-government she said end of the road. She did not say humming in the middle of the air what you came for chop.”

“What is this life if, full of care,”

“O, it's die we must, but it's live we can,”

“Time for you and time for me,”

“You shall love your crooked neighbour, with your crooked heart.”
