Book excerpt: Excerpt from Voices of the Night, and Other Poems After Tennyson, Longfellow has been the most popular poet of his day. Some critics have said that had Tennyson never written the Idylls, or In Memoriam, his inferiority to Longfellow would have been manifest, but the power displayed in these high realms of poetry was quite beyond Longfellow's reach. His range is domestic. He lacks the power of depicting deep passion, or of robing purely imag inative subjects with ideal grace and color. The forces necessary to the execution of an heroic poem are not his, but on the other hand, in such a description of quiet love and devoted patience as he gives us in Evangeline, Long fellow may be ranked with the greatest of poets.
