Explore "The Divine Tragedy" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
BARABBAS, to his fellow-prisoners / Barabbas is my name, / Barabbas, the Son of Shame, / Is the meaning, I suppose; / I'm no better than the best, / And whether worse than the rest / Of my fellow-men, who knows?
I was once, to say it in brief, / A highwayman, a robber-chief, / In the open light of day. / So much I am free to confess; / But all men, more or less, / Are robbers in their way.
