Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Architecture
← Back to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Profile
“Ah, to build, to build! That is the noblest of all the arts.”
“In the elder days of Art, Builders wrought with greatest care Each minute and unseen part; For the gods see everywhere.”
“The architect Built his great heart into these sculptured stones, And with him toiled his children, and their lives Were builded, with his own, into the walls, As offerings unto God.”
