Henry Wadsworth LongfellowThe Windmill by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow — often shortened simply to H.W. Longfellow — was well-known during his lifetime for poems that were both lyrical and legendary in content; his work, The Windmill, is an interesting example of a poem that is almost both things. The emotional and personal story told in the poem is told through the perspective of an inanimate object, and the mythology of the poem is one of Longfellow’s own appropriation. Each aspect of the poem is centred around its titular image, and so its primary purpose appears to be to propose a different perspective on a seemingly simple lifestyle. Longfellow published The Windmill in his 1880 collection Ultima Thule (a phrase which literally translates into “highest point” and refers to going beyond the boundaries of known borders), his second-to-last publication before he passed away in 1882.
