Explore "Sandalphon" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Have you read in the Talmud of old, / In the Legends the Rabbins have told / Of the limitless realms of the air, -- / Have you read it, -- the marvellous story / Of Sandalphon, the Angel of Glory, / Sandalphon, the Angel of Prayer?
How, erect, at the outermost gates / Of the City Celestial he waits, / With his feet on the ladder of light, / That, crowded with angels unnumbered, / By Jacob was seen, as he slumbered / Alone in the desert at night?
