Poets' Homes, Vol. 1 of 2: Pen and Pencil Sketches of American Poets and Their Homes (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Excerpt from Poets' Homes, Vol. 1 of 2: Pen and Pencil Sketches of American Poets and Their Homes

F it may be said of any living man that he is known all over the world, it may be said of Henry Wads worth Longfellow. His words seem to travel on the swift rays of light that penetrate unto the uttermost parts of the earth. James T. Fields, in his Longfellow lecture, tells of the strange and far - away places in which he has felt his heart warmed at sight of a well worn copy of Longfellow's poems. He has the touch of nature that makes the whole world kin for he is not more warmly appreciated in his native land than in the hearts and homes on the other side of the world.
