"When #HenryWadsworthLongfellow visited #Newport’s #Jewish #cemetery [...], he wrote of the graves as “silent beside the never-silent waves.” He noticed, too, what endured there: “Gone are the living, but the dead remain,” he observed, “and not neglected.”
Newport’s preservation of Jewish #sacred space was shared. #Jews endowed these places and returned to bury their dead there. #Christian officials repaired, protected, and publicly honored them. In this way, a Jewish inheritance was carried forward until communal life returned.
In 1883, #TouroSynagogue was rededicated and a new Jewish community established in Newport. But even in the window of years when the #congregation was gone, the dead were not abandoned."

« For his heart was in his work, and the heart
Giveth grace unto every Art. »― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Haunting Art
"Half-way up the stairs it stands,
And points and beckons with its hands
From its case of massive oak,
Like a monk, who, under his cloak,
Crosses himself, and sighs, alas!
With sorrowful voice to all who pass,--
"Forever--never!
Never--forever!"'The Old Clock on the Stairs' a watercolor illustration by William Ladd Taylor, feels all the more haunting when paired with this snippet from the Henry Wadsworth Longfellow poem of the same name that it first appeared with in a 1904 issue of Ladies Home Journal.

« Hands of invisible spirits touch the strings
Of that mysterious instrument, the soul,
And play the prelude of our fate. »― Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Last night @Palegingerette and I watched I Heard The Bells; a film that was shown last year going over the life of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow near the time he wrote the Christmas carol.
It was a pretty powerful movie. It was about grief and hope. Several moments made me cry (on account of being a dad myself) and there was a really good feeling by the end of it. I definitely recommend you watch it.
