Shall e’er prevail against us, or disturb
Our cheerful faith that all which we behold
Is full of blessings.”
IV
Side by side with this revelation of Nature, and interwoven with it so closely as to be inseparable, Wordsworth was receiving a revelation of humanity, no less marvellous, no less significant for his recovery of joy. Indeed he himself seems to have thought it the more important of the two, for he speaks of the mind of man as
“My haunt and the main region of my song”;
And again he says that he will set out, like an adventurer,
“And through the human heart explore the way;
And look and listen—gathering whence I may,
Triumph, and thoughts no bondage can restrain.”
