Arsenal at Springfield
Longfellow is often dismissed by modern poets and critics as being too
didactic and sometimes too simplistic; however, no one can question his
technical skill. This poem could be a textbook example (and indeed I have
used it so) of the effective application of various sound devices in
poetry, especially onomatopoeia, alliteration, assonance and consonance.
Also he displays a masterful choice of diction that combines the sounds of
words with vivid connotations and apt allusions. Furthermore, he varies the
meter as well as any poet I know to throw the emphasis automatically to the
most important words. Technically, this is a miniature masterpiece. As far
as the idea of the poem is concerned, perhaps his solution to the problem
of war is a bit too idealistic, but then we have never really tried it.

I have recently visited the Springfield Armory Museum in Springfield, Mass.
and saw a display of the civil war rifles on end in a case looking very
similar to a church organ. In front of the display was the poem by
Longfellow, The Arsenal at Springfield. So one can still see the
inspiration for part of this poem.
