Anne would say to Longfellow that it is nearly impossible to see the good in the present and to look to it but rather to pray to god and trust in him that everything is meant to be the way it is currently. Anne would tell Longfellow that he is wrong when saying that the end goal is not to look forward to death because in death her things will be returned to her. Anne doesn't want to act in the present and would tell Longfellow that it is better to look to the future and what is waiting at the end of life. Longfellow says that people should be concerned with leaving their footprints while as Anne would reply that it is not important what we do on earth because all that matters will be in heaven.
