Excelsior (Longfellow)
"Excelsior" is a short poem written in 1841 by American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. Overview The poem describes a young man passing through a mountain village at dusk. He bears the banner "Excelsior" (translated from Latin as "higher", also loosely but more widely as "onward and upward"). The traveller disregards warnings from villagers of fearful dangers above, and an offer of rest from a local maiden. The youth climbs higher until a last distant cry interrupts the prayers of the monks of Saint Bernard. "Lifeless, but beautiful" he is found by the "faithful hound" half-buried in the snow, "still clasping in his hands of ice that banner with the strange device, ''Excelsior!''" Longfellow's first draft of "Excelsior", now in the archives at Harvard University, notes that he finished the poem at three o'clock in the morning on September 28, 1841. The poem came to him as he was trying to sleep. "That ''voice'' kept ringing in my ears", as he wrote to his friend Samuel Gray War ...

Excelsior (motto)
The coat of arms of the state of New York was formally adopted in 1778, and appears as a component of the state's flag and seal. The shield displays a masted ship and a sloop on the Hudson River (symbols of inland and foreign commerce), bordered by a grassy shore and a mountain range in the background with the smiling sun rising behind it. The unheraldic nature of the Hudson River landscape reveals the modern origin of the design. The shield has two supporters: * Left: Liberty, with the Revolutionary imagery of a Phrygian cap raised on a pole. Her left foot treads upon a crown that represents freedom from the British monarchy that once ruled what is now New York as a colony. * Right: Justice, wearing a blindfold (representing impartiality) and holding scales (representing fairness) and the sword of justice. A banner below the shield shows the motto ''Excelsior'', a Latin word meaning "higher", "superior", "lordly", commonly translated as "Ever Upward." Following the ado ...
