Dropping a Line... Evangeline, by Longfellow


I really love this part of Evangeline. I'm not finished with the whole thing but I wanted to share this with some people that I know will appreciate it.

"Ye who believe in affection that hopes, and endures, and is patient,
Ye who believe in the beauty and strength of a woman's devotion,
List to the mournful tradition, still sung by the pines of the forest;
List to a tale of Love in Acadie, home of the happy."

I'm sure there will be more quotes when I'm done. Here's a tidbit of info though: Longfellow and Hawthorne went to the same college! Must be some strain of awesome writing bacteria floatin in that water.
