The Arrow and The song Reccomendation.

Today i have read the poem by Henry wadsworth longfellow, Titled"the arrow and the song"
It is an interesting poem, written from a new perspective and really opened my eyes a little. Maybe some things we say or do wont matter to us, but they mean the world to someone else.

I shot an arrow into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For, so swiftly it flew, the sight
Could not follow it in its flight.

I breathed a song into the air,
It fell to earth, I knew not where;
For who has sight so keen and strong,
That it can follow the flight of song?

Long, long afterward, in an oak
I found the arrow, still unbroke;
And the song, from beginning to end,
I found again in the heart of a friend.

I would recccomend the peom "A psalm of Life" also by the same author. Mr.Longfellow has a distinctive and unique way of writing.

 Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate;
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labor and to wait.

I found this stanza espicially inspiring, even though his work is a little old, i think it can still apply to many areas of life today.
