The arrow and the song by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow?
Q. The Arrow and the Song I shot an arrow into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For, so swiftly it flew, the sight Could not follow it in its flight. I breathed a song into the air, It fell to earth, I knew not where; For who has sight so keen and strong, That it can follow the flight of song? Long, long afterward, in an oak I found the arrow, still unbroke; And the song, from beginning to end, I found again in the heart of a friend. I am trying to understand this poem. Did Longfellow have something in mind that the arrow stands for?

What is the poem "changed" by henry wadsworth longfellow talking about?
Q. hey umm can someone tell me what "changed" by longfellow is talking about? thankyou sooo much and i will pick a best answer :)
Asked by princess - Sun May 17 14:02:03 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments
A. He's obviously going back to a place where he played as a child - a place that was familiar to him and important to him when he was young but when he gets there he discovers that things have changed (he describes himself in the first verse as a stranger) and he wonders whether it is the place that has changed or whether it is he who has changed. Some things have changed (his friends he played with are no longer there) but basically it would seem that the place hasn't changed. The scenery etc is the same but it seems different because he has grown up and moved on with his life and his friends have grown up too. Many of us actually do that. We go back to old familiar places trying to discover something that now lives only in our memories.… [cont.]

Asked by austink - Sat Jan 9 13:09:04 2010 - - 4 Answers - 0 Comments
A. His family inspired him, mostly his mother. His mother encouraged his enthusiasm for reading and learning, introducing him to Robinson Crusoe and Don Quixote. As a very private man, Longfellow did not believe in adding autobiographical elements to his poetry. Two exceptions are dedicated to the death of members of his family. "Resignation", written as a response to the death of his daughter Fanny in 1848, does not use first-person pronouns and is instead a generalized poem of mourning. The death of his second wife Frances, as biographer Charles Calhoun wrote, deeply affected Longfellow personally but "seemed not to touch his poetry, at least directly". His memorial poem to her, a sonnet called "The Cross of Snow", was not published in… [cont.]

Some contrasts and comparisons of Emily Dickinson,Walt Whitman and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow?
Q. Mostly I need contrasts between the three of these but some comparisons would be great too...
Asked by LaSherrell W - Thu Jul 23 11:53:41 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The easiest way to think the contrasts is that Dickinson is intellectual, emotional, but detached, Longfellow is a historical, broad scope poet, and Whitman is embodied, physically feeling each word and causing physical feelings in you. As for comparisons, I'm not as clear on Longfellow, but the connection between Whitman and Dickinson are their unorthodoxies and individualities, and dealing with themes, homosexuality and the body for Whitman, and women and emotional disturbance for Dickinson, that were earlier frowned upon.

A. A spy found out that the British were coming, and hung a light in the Old North Church to show whether they were coming by land or by water. (Two lights meant by boat.) Paul Revere waited to see the lights, and then rode to let everyone know, so the Minutemen could get ready to fight the British. It's not entirely historically accurate. Read it over six or seven times, and you'll almost know it by heart, it has such a beat. Try it as a rap song -- "One if by LAND, and two if by SEA, and I on the opposite shore will BE."
