[Footnote DW: In January 1849, the year before Wordsworth's death, he was
asked by Mr. Francis C. Yarnall of Philadelphia for his autograph, for a
lady in America; and, in reply, he wrote the four lines, beginning
Soul of our Souls, and safeguard of the world!
They were doubtless suggested to him at the time by the death of his own
daughter. See Mr. Yarnall's paper on "Wordsworth's Influence in America,"
in the _Transactions of the Wordsworth Society_, No. v.--ED.]
[Footnote DX: With this whole passage compare the teaching of Kant's
three _Kritiken_.--ED.]
[Footnote DY: Compare the _Ode, Intimations of Immortality_--
Trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home.
