News at Eleven: The sonnet reminds us of [William] Wordsworth's best

poetry, and tells Toussaint not to die, reminding him of his great feat which will live on. "There's not a breathing of the common wind/That will forget thee; thou hast great allies" among whom is "man's unconquerable mind."

William Cowper (1731-1800) is, however, the poet most quoted in the abolition movement.
