“I have often thought, in relation to him, of Wordsworth's description of " A youth to whom was given So much of Earth, so much of Heaven, And such impetuous blood." ***** " Whatever in those climes he found, Irregular in sight or sound, Did to his mind impart A kindred impulse, seemed allied To his own powers, and justified The workings of his heart.”
