Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quotes:
Ocupation: Poet
Life: February 27, 1807 - March 24, 1882
Birthday: February 27
Death: March 24
The setting of a great hope is like the setting of the sun. The brightness of our life is gone. Shadows of evening fall around us, and the world seems but a dim reflection - itself a broader shadow. We look forward into the coming lonely night. The soul withdraws into itself. Then stars arise, and the night is holy.
