Longfellow gives a great depiction of life and death through his
intense phrases in, "A Psalm of Life". It reveals the wonderful side of
life whether you are living it or striving for it. This poem can be used as
inspration to live life to the fullest and to not to let life pass you by.

In the poem it said that, "Art is long and time is fleeting." I think
this means that life is long and life goes quickly. What this means in my
life is that I remember when I road my first bike when I was about 4 or 5
years old . It seemed like if it was just yesterday. In the poem it said
that time goes fast.

I think this poem is very good and it relates to me by,
"Art is long and time is fleeting," This means life is long
but life goes by quickly.

I thought this poem is good, great, awsome,ect. I like how Mr.
Longfellow thinks or used to think . How he tells us that life is
meaningless if we don't do anything. I think people should read it and read
it to their younger kids so that they can think about it.The quote I Iike
best is "Trust no future,how e,er pleasant! Let the dead past burry its
dead! Act-act in the living present! Heart within,and God o'erhead!" I like
it because it's telling us to worry about today and not about past.To just
think of what are your goals for today and not tommorrow, and thats how I
think. That's what I tell my sister.

"A Psalm of Life" is a very interesting poem.It makes you think how
life is, and how you can live your life without giving up on yourself.I
think that life has a meaning for living and this poem is a reason to help
others who are having problems and think there is no reason for living.
"Not enjoyment, and sorrow, Is our destined end or, way; But to act that
each to-morrow Finds us father than to-day." Is the line that inspired me
the most. It is talking about how life has sad and happy times but you
just have to think about today.

In the poem "A Psalm Of Life" it says, "trust no future how'er
pleasant!/Let the past bury its dead!" This means live for the present. I
can relate to this very well beacause a lot of bad things have happened to
me, but I let the past live in the past and I live for the present and the
future.

A Psalm of Life
"Trust no future, howe'er pleasant! Let the dead past bury it's
dead!" We read this in English class at Washington High School in Los
Angeles. I actually think it's an ok poem. To me the poems is saying how
you should always look foward to the future but that doesn't mean it's
going to be a good one. But you shouldn't spend you life in the past or
else it'll pass you by,instead live it int he present.

This poem actually makes a lot of sense. It describes the way we
should all be living. The poem tells you to live in the moment and not
the past. That's actually good advice because you should never worry about
something you did in the past and just live your life in the moment. It's
better than torturing yourself about a mistake you made in the past.

In this poem "A Psalm in Life" I found this quote to be quite moving:
"Life is long but time is moving quickly." It means that life is long but
it passes by very quickly and by the time you decide to do anything about
it, its almost over.

Like all of my classmates, I read A Psalm of Life. "Lives of great men all
remind us we can make our lives sublime." This reminds me of Francisco
"Pancho" Villa, a great man, especially for Mexico, and like the majority
messages from the poem, he lived his life to the fullest because he knew
that life is not meaningless. Francisco "Pancho" Villa is some one I look
up to, and I hope that one day some one will look up to me the way I look
up to him.
