Longfellow: The Spanish Student, Act 1 Sc III:
152 The greatest of thy sex excels thee not!
153 The world of the affections is thy world,
154 Not that of man's ambition. In that stillness
155 Which most becomes a woman, calm and holy,
156 Thou sittest by the fireside of the heart,
157 Feeding its flame. The element of fire
158 Is pure. It cannot change nor hide its nature,
159 But burns as brightly in a Gypsy camp
160 As in a palace hall. Art thou convinced?
(from Chadwyck-Healey's Literature Online)

Subject: To find a source
To fellow members of HUMANIST
I am working on an "edition critique" of a Quebec novel published in 1883.
Author: Laure Conan; title: Angeline de Montbrun. There are a great number
of quotations in this novel most of them without name of author or title
of the work. I have not been able to find the source for the next
quotation:
Calm and holy,
Thou sittest by the fireside of the heart,
Feeding its flames.
The only information given is that this compliment is addressed to a young
woman by a Reverend admirer.
If anyone can help me in finding the author, I would appreciate it very
much.
Thanking you in advance.
Nicole Bourbonnais
