“Oh, well has it been said, that there is no grief like the grief which does not speak!”

About Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

1807 – 1882

American poet, author of 'The Song of Hiawatha' and 'Paul Revere's Ride'.

“Know how sublime a thing it is to suffer and be strong.”

“From labor there shall come forth rest.”

“Age is opportunity no less than youth itself, though in another dress.”

“After great pain, a formal feeling comes.”

“Give sorrow words. The grief that does not speak whispers the o'er-fraught heart and bids it break.”

“Light sorrows speak, but deeper ones are dumb.”

“Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes round in another form.”

“Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding.”

“No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.”
