Longfellow's masterful storytelling and poetic prose make this book a must-read for anyone interested in American literature or the human experience.""Ungrateful people! Could you not watch with me one hour?"" exclaimed he, in that excited and bitter moment; as if he had thought that on that solemn night the whole parish would have watched, while he was writing his farewell discourse. He pressed his hot brow against the window-pane to allay its fever; and across the tremulous wavelets of the river the tranquil moon sent towards him a silvery shaft of light, like an angelic salutation. And the consoling thought came to him, that not only this river, but all rivers and lakes, and the great sea itself, were flashing with this heavenly light.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
