Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Address and Poem Read at Bowdoin College: June 26, 1907, in Commemoration of the Centenary of the Birth of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow of the Class of 1825 To speak of Longfellow in this place, and to this audience, is a privilege, - a privilege none the less though speech may not rise to the height of the subject and the occasion. The place is hallowed by the memory of his own presence and voice, when he was already crowned with the beauty of age, and with the honor of the world. The audience is composed, in part at least, of those whose feeling of reverence for the poet is made tender, and in some measure personal, by the strong and subtle tie which binds together the sons of a common Alma Mater. It is a brother-alumnus whose character and work we commemorate, now when a hundred years have passed since his life began, and twenty-five years since it ended. It is true, of course, that, like all poets, he belongs to everyone that has found pleasure, or comfort, or inspiration in his verse; and his fame is one of the cherished treasures of the land. Yet it seems to be our privilege, as it certainly is our pride, to feel that, in some sense, he belongs peculiarly to us. He was a student, a graduate, and a professor of Bowdoin, and through all the years that followed his residence here, he cherished and expressed for the college a deep and filial regard.
