Podcast appearances and mentions of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Leitura Bíblica Do Dia: GÊNESIS 4:2-11 Plano De Leitura Anual: SALMOS 113–115; 1 CORÍNTIOS 6  Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira:  No poema As testemunhas, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–82) descreveu um navio negreiro afundado. Destacou os “esqueletos acorrentados” e lamentou as incontáveis vítimas anônimas da escravidão. A última estrofe traz: “Estes são os horrores da escravidão / Eles brilham do abismo / Eles choram em sepulturas desconhecidas / Nós somos as Testemunhas!” (tradução livre). A quem essas testemunhas falam? Esse testemunho silencioso não é fútil? Há uma Testemunha que tudo vê. Quando Caim assassinou Abel, ele fingiu que nada acontecera. “Por acaso sou responsável por meu irmão?”, disse com desdém a Deus, que lhe disse: “O sangue de seu irmão clama a mim da terra! O próprio solo, que bebeu o sangue de seu irmão, sangue que você derramou, amaldiçoa você” (GÊNESIS 4:9-11). O nome de Caim persiste como aviso. “Não sejamos como Caim, que pertencia ao maligno e assassinou seu irmão”, advertiu João (1 JOÃO 3:12). O nome de Abel também está presente, mas de maneira diferente. “Pela fé, Abel apresentou a Deus um sacrifício superior ao de Caim”; ele “ainda fala por meio de seu exemplo” (HEBREUS 11:4). Abel ainda fala! Também os ossos dos escravos, há muito esquecidos. Fazemos bem em nos lembrar de todas essas vítimas e nos opor à opressão onde quer que a vejamos. Deus vê tudo. Sua justiça triunfará.  Por: TIM GUSTAFSON

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessagePoetry possesses a unique ability to capture moments of national crisis in ways that speak across centuries. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's "The Ship of State" – the stirring final stanza of his 1849 poem "The Building of the Ship" – emerged during a time when America stood at the precipice of disaster. With slavery debates raging and North-South tensions escalating toward civil war, Longfellow crafted a maritime metaphor that would become one of America's most enduring poetic touchstones.Through vivid nautical imagery, Longfellow transforms America into a vessel navigating treacherous waters. "Humanity with all its fears, with all the hopes of future years, is hanging breathless on thy fate," he writes, capturing both the fragility and significance of the American experiment. The genius lies in how he acknowledges the storms battering the ship – political divisions, moral crises, constitutional questions – while maintaining unwavering faith in the journey. "Fear not each sudden sound and shock," he reassures, distinguishing between temporary turbulence and structural damage to democracy itself.This poem transcended its historical moment to become a recurring national refrain. Abraham Lincoln reportedly found solace in these verses during the Civil War, repeating "Sail on, O Ship of State" amid America's darkest hours. Presidents, writers, and citizens across generations have returned to Longfellow's maritime metaphor when navigating national crises. As we approach America's 250th anniversary amid renewed polarization, the poem's final rallying cry – "Our hearts, our hopes, our prayers, our tears, our faith triumphant o'er our fears, are all with thee" – reminds us that the American journey requires collective investment and shared purpose. Join us as we explore how poetry speaks to the soul of a nation in crisis and why, as JFK noted, "when power corrupts, poetry cleanses." Take a moment this week to discover or rediscover the power of poetic wisdom in your own life.Key Points from the Episode:• Influential Americans including Edgar Allan Poe, William Faulkner, and JFK have all emphasized poetry's essential role in society• Longfellow wrote "The Building of the Ship" during 1849's political powder keg, with slavery debates threatening to fracture the nation• The poem's final stanza transforms a ship into a powerful metaphor for the United States navigating stormy waters• Abraham Lincoln reportedly found solace in these verses during the Civil War, according to his secretary John Hay• The poem's imagery of storms, false lights, and steadfast sailing continues to resonate in discussions of modern political polarization• Longfellow's vision reminds us that democracy requires collective effort and faith in the national project• JFK's insight that "when power corrupts, poetry cleanses" captures the enduring importance of poetic wisdomKeep fighting the good fight and read some poetry this week.Other resources: Want to leave a review?

What happens when a nation drifts from its spiritual moorings? Jesse Cope tackles this profound question by examining America's foundation in Christian principles and the consequences of abandoning these truths.The episode opens with a heartfelt reminder to prioritize our relationship with God - through daily Scripture reading, prayer, and living according to biblical values. Jesse points out that our personal spiritual discipline reflects what our nation needs collectively. When we neglect these foundations, both our personal lives and our national character suffer.A centerpiece of this episode is Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's magnificent poem "The Building of the Ship." This powerful allegory of shipbuilding represents America's creation and preservation as a nation. Jesse shares the fascinating historical connection between this poem, Abraham Lincoln (who reportedly wept upon hearing it), and later, how Franklin D. Roosevelt sent its opening lines to Winston Churchill during World War II, creating a profound bond between allies during their darkest hour."Thou too sail on, O Ship of State, sail on O Union strong and great. Humanity, with all its fears, with all the hopes of future years, is hanging breathless on thy fate." These words resonated deeply with leaders who understood that America's strength came not from abandoning its principles but from embracing them more fully.The episode takes a sobering turn as Jesse reads accounts from Fox's Book of Martyrs, detailing the horrific persecution Christians faced in the second century. These stories serve as powerful reminders of the price paid for faith throughout history and challenge us to consider what we would sacrifice to preserve religious freedom today.Jesse concludes with a thought-provoking challenge: "We can't have America without God at the wheel and His Son, Jesus Christ, guiding it and the Holy Spirit. It's just not going to work. You can't have liberty where the Holy Spirit is not." He reminds us that when we compromise truth in the name of tolerance, we aren't being kind but cruel - a powerful reminder that genuine love speaks truth, even when difficult.Join us for this enlightening exploration of faith, liberty, and America's spiritual heritage - and consider what we must preserve to ensure our ship of state continues to sail through the storms ahead.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

"...Let us, then, be up and doing,    With a heart for any fate; Still achieving, still pursuing,    Learn to labor and to wait."This week, I'm reflecting on a poem, A Psalm of Life, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, published in 1838.Reflection questions:How does thinking of your donors as partners as well change your perspective?If you are in the middle of a fundraising campaign, when was the last time you gave an update to your donors, to your partners for this campaign?Reflection on poem:This week, I was reminded of the active nature of charity by donors. One of my clients was near the finish line of raising enough to meet their goal and move forward on a capital projects.  But, just before the deadline they were short. Just a small gap.  They called one of the donors to the project and shared the information about the gap.  What did the donor do?  He committed to calling his network to fill the gap.  And, the gap was filled. It reminded me the quote often attributed to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.  “The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service.”  This quote is a paraphrase of his poem, A Psalm of Life.When we are in the middle of a fundraising campaign, we often think of people as just potential donors.  In reality, many of these donors are also partners.  They have chosen us and our organizations as a conduit to the cause they care about.  Donors chose the charity, not the other way around.  That means many of them are emotionally invested into the success of the campaign.  They want to come alongside and be a partner. They want to act, achieve, pursue success for the cause. Just like this donor helping my client cross the finish line.This work has entered the public domain.What do you think? Send me a text.

Paul Revere's Midnight Ride is one of the most famous events in American history. On the night of April 18, 1775, Revere set out to warn the Massachusetts countryside that British regulars were marching to seize rebel supplies in Concord. Revere's name has become legendary, immortalized in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's famous poem, The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere. But how much do we really know about Paul Revere beyond that single night? In this revisited episode, we'll explore the history and memory of Paul Revere. Why has he endured as a national icon, while other revolutionary couriers and figures have faded from public consciousness? How does the story of Revere's ride illustrate the power of historical memory? And what does Revere's real life—beyond that one night—tell us about the American Revolution and the ways we remember it? Show Notes: https://www.benfranklinsworld.com/130 REQUEST A TOPIC

On April 18, 1775, Paul Revere raced through the Massachusetts country side on horseback to warn patriot leaders that British soldiers were on the march. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow immortalized the ride, and took some liberties, in a poem that turned the silversmith into a legend.

The legendary poem about Paul Revere from Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poignantly lays out the dramatic events that unfolded between Boston and Concord on April 18, 1775, setting the stage for the opening battles of the Revolutionary War. Revere wasn't the only man who made the crucial ride to warn the minutemen, but thanks to that poem, Revere's efforts became stuff of legend. Nina Zannieri, Executive Director of the Paul Revere House in Boston, joins Nichole to talk about the work to preserve Revere's legacy and the celebrations they have planned for the 250th anniversary of Revere's ride.This segment is the third interview in our new series, "Revolutionary Roots", where we take a closer look at the stories, people, events, and local ties that connect New England to the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary in 2026.

Celebrate joy beyond circumstances.2. Translate joy to praise.3. Share joy with the joyless.GO DEEPER - I Heard the Bells on Christmas DayHenry Wadsworth Longfellow suffered greatly. His wife, Fannie, died when her dress caught fire. Henry tried to smother the flame with his own body, but it was too late. Two years later his 18-year-old son Charley left home and signed up to serve in Lincoln's Union Army where he was severely wounded in battle. On Christmas day, 1863, Longfellow - a 57-year-old widowed father of six children - sought to capture in writing both his despair and his hope. He heard church bells that day and the singing of "peace on earth" (Luke 2:14), but he saw a world of injustice and violence that mocked the truthfulness of this hopeful outlook. He ultimately found joy in spite of circumstances and wrote the poem that would later become "I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day"LYRICSI heard the bells on Christmas dayTheir old familiar carols playAnd mild and sweet their songs repeatOf peace on earth good will to menAnd in despair I bowed my headThere is no peace on earth I saidFor hate is strong and mocks the songOf peace on earth, good will to menThen rang the bells, more loud and deepGod is not dead, nor does He sleepThe wrong shall fail, the right prevailWith peace on earth, good will to menFind more details of the story HERE.

New-fallen snow can be a kind of blank canvas for the poet. In yesterday's poem, Stevenson wrote over it in whimsical metaphor and simile; in today's, Longfellow finds the reflection of his own troubled heart. Happy reading.

One, "The Jewish Cemetery at Newport," by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, is generally thought to have been written during a visit to Newport in 1852 and was then published in 1854. The other, a response to that work by Emma Lazarus, called "In the Jewish Synagogue at Newport," was likely written in 1867 and then published in 1871.Rabbi Dan Judson, Provost of Hebrew College, discusses how the poem by Lazarus both builds upon and deviates from Longfellow's poem. He also shares about the artistic and ideological journey that Emma Lazarus, as a Jewish American writer, took over the course of her career, using her poem "The Banner of the Jew," published in 1882, as an entry point to understand this journey, and touches on the ways in which her evolution speaks to Jewish identity in America and the American experience overall.Support for this episode is provided in part by A More Perfect Union, a project of The Tides Center.
