4951 William Wordsworth 1770-1850 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:4951
AUTHOR:William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
QUOTATION:Thou has left behind
Powers that will work for thee,—air, earth, and skies!
There ’s not a breathing of the common wind
That will forget thee; thou hast great allies;
Thy friends are exultations, agonies,
And love, and man’s unconquerable mind. 1
ATTRIBUTION:To Toussaint L’Ouverture.
WORKS:William Wordsworth Collection.
