More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Spirit of beauty, that dost consecrate with thine own hues all thou dost shine upon of human thought or form, where art thou gone? why dost thou pass away and leave our state, this dim vast vale of tears, vacant and desolate? ask why the sunlight not for ever weaves rainbows o'er yon mountain-river, why aught should fail and fade that once is shown, why fear and dream and death and birth cast on the daylight of this earth such gloom, why man has such a scope for love and hate, despondency and hope?
Beauty Dream Art
O lord, thou knowest that which is best for us; let this or that be done, as thou shalt please. give what thou wilt, how much thou wilt, and when thou wilt. deal with me as thou thinkest best. place me where thou wilt, and deal with me in all things just as thou wilt. behold, i am thy servant, prepared for all things: i desire not to live unto myself, but unto thee; and oh, that i could do it worthily and perfectly!

Is it thy will, thy image should keep open my heavy eyelids to the weary night? dost thou desire my slumbers should be broken, while shadows like to thee do mock my sight? is it thy spirit that thou send'st from thee so far from home into my deeds to pry, to find out shames and idle hours in me, the scope and tenor of thy jealousy? o, no! thy love, though much, is not so great: it is my love that keeps mine eye awake: mine own true love that doth my rest defeat, to play the watchman ever for thy sake: for thee watch i, whilst thou dost wake elsewhere, from me far off, with others all too near.
Love Eye Home
Thou slave, thou wretch, thou coward! thou little valiant, great in villainy! thou ever strong upon the stronger side! thou fortune's champion, that dost never fight but where her humorous ladyship is by to teach thee safety.
Strong Humorous Fighting
Sin! sin! thou art a hateful and horrible thing, that abominable thing which god hates. and what wonder? thou hast insulted his holy majesty; thou hast bereaved him of beloved children; thou hast crucified the son of his infinite love; thou hast vexed his gracious spirit; thou hast defied his power; thou hast despised his grace; and in the body and blood of jesus, as if that were a common thing, thou hast trodden under foot his matchless mercy. surely, brethren, the wonder of wonders is, that sin is not that abominable thing which we also hate.
Jesus Art Children
O vanity, how little is thy force acknowledged or thy operations discerned! how wantonly dost thou deceive mankind under different disguises! sometimes thou dost wear the face of pity; sometimes of generosity; nay, thou hast the assurance to put on those glorious ornaments which belong only to heroic virtue.

Then a strange thing happened. she turned to him and smiled, and as he saw her smile every rag of anger and hurt vanity dropped from him — as though his very moods were but the outer ripples of her own, as though emotion rose no longer in his breast unless she saw fit to pull an omnipotent controlling thread.
