The "War for Southern Independence"? In case you missed it, The Wrong did
fail, The Right prevailed in that conflict.

The poet's crisis over peace on earth RINGS through today. I particularly
think of the violence in Iraq. In the Pakistan earthquake, thousands
volunteered to help homeless people with shattered lives. Wadsworth
concluded, "God is not dead;" He lives in the giving of human kindness,
people face to face with the suffering. The Bells ring on.

Having read that Longfellow was walking the streets hearing the Christmas
bells while at the same time not knowing if his sons were alive (during the
War for Southern Independence) I am deeply touched by his verse. His
passion for life and peace comes accross to me when I consider what was
behind his writing. Would that I knew more such details on his other
works. To feel I can somehow share this moment with him 140 years later is
a beatiful esperience.
