Henry Wadsworth Longfellow Quote

Would'st thou, — so the helmsman answered, Learn the secret of the sea? Only those who brave its dangers Comprehend its mystery!


The Seaside and the Fireside, The Secret of the Sea, Stanza 8, Ticknor, Reed & Fields. 1850


Would'st thou, — so the helmsman answered, Learn the secret of the sea? Only those who brave its dangers Comprehend its mystery!

Would'st thou, — so the helmsman answered, Learn the secret of the sea? Only those who brave its dangers Comprehend its mystery!

Would'st thou, — so the helmsman answered, Learn the secret of the sea? Only those who brave its dangers Comprehend its mystery!

Would'st thou, — so the helmsman answered, Learn the secret of the sea? Only those who brave its dangers Comprehend its mystery!
