Episode 7 features The Village Blacksmith by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. This is one of the first poems that my Dad ever read to me, and I have enjoyed Longfellow's work ever since (the British did too! There's a bust of him in Poet's Corner in Westminster Abbey, the burial place of kings of in England.) This piece extolls the virtues of the hard working family man, and I find it thought provoking to compare myself to this guy and see what qualities of his that I can work to improve within myself.
