Explore "The Iron Pen" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Made from a fetter of Bonnivard, the Prisoner of Chillon; the handle of wood from the Frigate Constitution, and bound with a circlet of gold, inset with three precious stones from Siberia, Ceylon, and Maine.
I thought this Pen would arise / From the casket where it lies -- / Of itself would arise and write / My thanks and my surprise.
