Well, I came upon this poem as I was lookig for a topic for my British
Literature class. This was the first poem I chose by Longfellow, because I
liked the name of it, and I love this poem. This is definately the topic of
my paper!

And with them the Being Beauteous,
(…)
Who can tell me when and where Foosteps of Angels was written/published?
(Rimbaud used the word "beauteous". Also did LHSullivan in his
Autobiography.)

its really funny how i can upon this poem. i asked my step dad to say the
first name that poped in to his head when i asded him to give me a name of
a famous poet, and he said Longfellow. so i looked him up and read a lot of
his poems and chose this one to do for my american lit class. and out of
all of the poems i read this is by far one of my favorites, not just by
Longfellow, but other poets as well!

I'm writing a paper on Longfellow and although his early poems, much like
this one were highly criticized because of their common emotionality I
truly love it. The thing about Longfellow's poetry is that most people are
able to relate to it. I think that is what makes it so great. This poem was
actually based on another poem that is found in his journals entitled
"Evening Shodows" which he wrote shortly after his first wife's death. I
loved that poem and later found this one which adds a few stanzas onto
"Evening Shadows" including another angel or ghost of which I'm led to
believe is his father. Keep reading Longfellow's poems - they are truly
special - I don't mind saying that this one was a tear jerker for me.

I really like this poem. I am studying Longfellow for a school assignment
and of all the poems I have read so far I like this one the most.
