Duskypearls -> And Dreams That Cannot Die - Poem (1/9/2012 3:39:21 PM)
|
I am just now watching Tom Wilkinson, Sissy Spacek and Marisa Tomei in "In the Bedroom," which is marvelous. Wilkinson is being quoted a poem to, a powerful one which I have never heard, and it goes like this...
There are things of which I may not speak;
There are dreams that cannot die;
There are thoughts that make the strong heart weak,
And bring a pallor into the cheek,
And a mist before the eye.
And the words of that fatal song
Come over me like a chill:
‘A boy’s will is the wind’s will,
And the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.’
– from “My Lost Youth” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
