Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Authors
← Back to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Profile
“Look, then, into thine heart and write!”
“If you once understand an author's character, the comprehension of his writings becomes easy.”
“Perhaps the greatest lesson which the lives of literary men teach us is told in a single word* Wait!”
“Whatever hath been written shall remain, Nor be erased nor written o'er again; The unwritten only still belongs to thee* Take heed, and ponder well what that shall be.”
