Evangeline
Evangeline, A Tale of Acadie, is an epic poem by the American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, written in English and published in 1847. The poem follows an Acadian girl named Evangeline and her search for her lost love Gabriel, set during the time of the Expulsion of the Acadians.
The idea for the poem came from Longfellow's friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne. Longfellow used dactylic hexameter, imitating Greek and Latin classics, though the choice was criticized. It became Longfellow's most famous work in his lifetime and remains one of his most popular and enduring works.
The poem had a powerful effect in defining both Acadian history and identity in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. More recent scholarship has revealed the historical errors in the poem and the complexity of the Expulsion and those involved, which the poem ignores.
Plot
Evangeline describes the betrothal of a fictional Acadian girl named Evangeline Bellefontaine to her beloved, Gabriel Lajeunesse, and their separation as the British deport the Acadians from Acadie in the Great Upheaval. The poem then follows Evangeline across the landscapes of America as she spends years in a search for him, at some times being near to Gabriel without realizing he was near. Finally she settles in Philadelphia and, as an old woman, works as a Sister of Mercy among the poor. While tending the dying during an epidemic she finds Gabriel among the sick, and he dies in her arms.
Evangeline (1913 film)
Evangeline is a 1913 Canadian drama film based on the epic poem of the same name. It is known as the first feature-length dramatic movie filmed in Canada, and it was very successful there and in the United States. Directed by Edward P. Sullivan and William Cavanaugh, it was filmed in Nova Scotia and is the first Canadian feature-length film. This film was the first of the movies made between 1913 and 1914 by the Canadian Company of Halifax. It is now considered to be a lost film.

by: KefDude: You ready?
Kef: Yeah yeah
Dude: Alright, we're rollin'
Kef: If you show me something precious,
I will show you someone blue,
and we'll calculate what drives me straight to you
The fascination kindled like a spark becomes a flame,
and then the fire thickens,
and my heart quickens,
every measure I hear your name
Evangeline
Evangeline
Well can you feature an adorable creature
more appealing than this world has ever seen?
Evangeline
Evangeline
Her face made equal to the minature features
of a hand-made porcelain figurine
Dude: Did you just say "porcelain figurine?"
Kef: Well, yeah. There's only a handful of words you
can rhyme with- y'know what? Just don't worry about it.
Dude: Right.
Kef: If I ever fall abandoned on a desert made in blue,
I would only wish to spend each day with you
Essential artless charm from which impossible to wean
It only amplifies those lips those eyes and every
freckle that's in between
Evangeline

Far more beauty in a single view than on the pages of a

Can you feature an adorable creature more appealing

And you know I'll never forget you
Until I have you in my arms
Dude: Uh Dude, she's gonna think you're a stalker...
Kef: I'm trying to do a solo here
Dude: Yeah but I mean, you should think about how this
is gonna be perceived because I mean, it's a little...
Crazy you know?
I recognize and risk absurdity to call your name this
but I fear there might not be another way
Effortless sparkle shines around the angel in your
name,
and if I never laid my eyes on you I know I wouldn't be
the same

How could I ever fabricate another woman as my lover
when no other one I'd rather here to be
