Quotes

• The morrow was a bright September morn;
  The earth was beautiful as if new-born;
  There was that nameless splendor everywhere,
  That wild exhilaration in the air,
  Which makes the passers in the city street
  Congratulate each other as they meet.
  • Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Tales of a Wayside Inn (1863-1874), Part I, The Student's Tale, The Falcon of Sir Federigo, line 135.
