The rhythm of this poem is perfect. I can hear the waves in my head when it‘s read out loud. #rise #poetrymatters @TheSpineView @TheSpineView
This 1870 four-volume edition of “the Complete Works of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow” includes, among many others, the epic poem “Evangeline,” which was considered a #masterpiece at the time. Perhaps it still is. This set was passed down to me by my grandfather in 2000; it appears to have been purchased new and lived in the family library for the preceding 130 years.

Even when a book has almost no life left, even when it would take a true act of love to read through the unbound and crumbling pages - it is still a work of art. A well-loved book is a thing of beauty.
Alas, I did not get to visit his home or the bookstore (presumably) named after him. But this plaque was at Portland Head Lighthouse.
