  1. He stopped shaving after burning his face while trying to save his wife from death by burning. And he wrote a poem about a Dutch privateer I'd never heard of before. Interesting man.

    1. Interesting information, Rob.
      I must admit I know nothing of Longfellow, nor any of his poems. I must make amends.
