William Wordsworth Quote

And when a damp
Fell round the path of Milton, in his hand
The thing became a trumpet; whence he blew
Soul-animating strains,—alas! too few.


Scorn not the Sonnet - Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, 10th ed. (1919)


And when a damp Fell round the path of Milton, in his hand The thing became a trumpet; whence he blew Soul-animating strains,—alas! too few.
