Which lines from Longfellow's
poem "A Psalm of Life" would
you cite to show the American
Romantic characteristic of
emphasizing the importance
of the individual -- of taking
life into one's own hands?
A. 13: "Art is long, and Time is fleeting."
B. 1-2: "Tell me not, in mournful numbers./
Life is but an empty dream!--"
C. 23-24: "Act-- act in the living Present!
Heart within, and God o'erhead!"
