CBee @TheBookHippie so jealous! I saw Pearl Jam in I think ‘95 or ‘96? It was in New Orleans. My first and last mosh pit experience 😳😂 2y

TheBookHippie @CBee I saw his Earthlings tour both nights in Chicago. I saw Pearl Jam last in Wrigley Field 2018 summer. Mosh pit 😂 I did Metallica with my daughter I was 50 that was the last time ever. Otherwise I did years of the pit when I was young and beautiful 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤦🏻‍♀️ 2y

CBee @TheBookHippie braver than I! I just remember having to leave and hearing “Yellow Ledbetter” as we were going and I just stopped and stood there ♥️ 2y

1. Tagged. Only read it the once, more than 30-something years ago but it touched me deeply
2. Gray
3. Jeremy Wade‘s River Monsters (completely weird and random, but son and I really enjoy watching JW together; in fact, the son called me twice tonight to give me updates on the show because I‘m out of town where I‘m not able to watch it)
4. Niffler

Hufflepuffle Me and my husband love River Monsters! The opposite of what we usually watch but there is something about it! 5y

BiblioLitten My husband and I loved watching River Monsters too! 5y

Lcsmcat I loved Evangeline! It must be 43 years since I read it. I might need to reread it soon. 5y

Texreader @Hufflepuffle @BiblioLitten Right! There‘s just something about it. I am so amazed the places he‘s been! Chernobyl! Whoa! 5y

Texreader @Lcsmcat Yes I have just put it on my wish list for Amazon. The book has stayed with me in my thoughts for decades. I‘d love to reread it and see if it is still as compelling 5y

I'm not sure if this Henry Wadsworth Longfellow quote comes from a particular work and which work it is, but I love it. 💙

This is the best 'waves breaking on the shore' pic currently stored on my iPhone--it's from Waimea Bay on the North Shore of Oahu. 🌊

Silently, one by one, in the infinite meadows of heaven,
Blossomed the lovely stars, the forget-me-nots of the angels.

Illustration from 1893 edition of Evangeline depicting the British #militia expelling the Acadians from Nova Scotia.

Evangeline, a Tale of Acadie | Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Reads much better with an audio. One of the saddest books I've read in a while, but as a young lady with Cajun heritage, I can't help but love this story.

Ok, so many of you might not know, but I'm from the village of St. Martinville, LA - the setting of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's poem Evangeline (maybe you studied it in High school English?)
I took this this morning from under the famous Evangeline Oak tree - the actual oak she once sat under, pining for her lost love.

LauraBeth Oh wow - what an amazing picture! I'm a Fontenot who has family in Lake Charles 😀 7y

LuLeeBelle @LauraBeth Mais tee beb, how you been doin? 😂 That's awesome! 7y

suvata That's so cool 7y

KVanRead Very cool. My husband is from Grand Pré, Nova Scotia, formerly Acadia, where the poem starts out and from where Evangeline's people were expelled. 7y

LuLeeBelle @KVanRead From the beginning to the end of the poem, how lovely! Someday I'll visit NS for sure 7y

So, Longfellow's style is definitely over the top, and the relentlessly rocking meter starts to wear you down after a while but I still loved this beautiful Romantic poem and its tragic story of displacement. I do wish the separated lovers had just stayed in one place and written letters to the blacksmith until they located each other but I guess that would have killed the plot.😂 #litsypoetry365 #theRomantics @SharonGoforth

Nebklvr Our teacher read this to us in country school. I think it received a one kleenex box rating! 7y

KVanRead @Nebklvr That's great. I agree😢 7y

Started Longfellow's tale of 'Le Grand Dérangement,' the Acadian expulsion from Grand Pré, Nova Scotia as my #litsypoetry365 pick yesterday. Considering that is Mr. KVR's birthplace, I figure I should finally read it.? @SharonGoforth

TheCanuckReader It's a beautiful spot with a tragic past 7y

KVanRead @TheCanuckReader Yes, it really is. I picked up this little copy of the poem (actually my MIL gifted it me) at the museum there. Glad to finally be sitting down to read it! (edited) 7y

Found on my parents' bookshelves: A copy of Longfellow's Evangeline from 1925 that belonged to my great grandmother during her days of studying to be a teacher. #litsyhistory
