John Bartlett (1820–1905). Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. 1919.

5107 William Wordsworth 1770-1850 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:5107
AUTHOR:William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
QUOTATION:Since every mortal power of Coleridge
Was frozen at its marvellous source,
The rapt one, of the godlike forehead,
The heaven-eyed creature sleeps in earth:
And Lamb, the frolic and the gentle,
Has vanished from his lonely hearth.
ATTRIBUTION:Extempore Effusion upon the Death of James Hogg.
WORKS:William Wordsworth Collection.
