Summary

Portrait of Samuel Taylor Coleridge Samuel Taylor Coleridge,  Destruction of the Bastille (1789)

“ Thro’ every burning vein would tides of Frenzy roll. 40
5.
But cease, ye pitying bosoms, cease to bleed!
Such scenes no more demand the tear humane;
I see, I see! glad Liberty succeed
With every patriot virtue in her train!
And mark yon peasant’s raptur’d eyes;
Secure he views his harvests rise;
No fetter vile the mind shall know,
And Eloquence shall fearless glow.
Yes! Liberty the soul of Life shall reign,
Shall throb in every pulse, shall flow thro’ every vein!
