The silver trump of freedom had roused my soul to eternal
wakefulness. Freedom now appeared, to disappear no
more forever. It was heard in every sound, and seen in
every thing. It was ever present to torment me with a sense
of my wretched condition. I saw nothing without seeing it, I
heard nothing without hearing it, and felt nothing without
feeling it. It looked from every star, it smiled in every calm,
breathed in every wind, and moved in every storm.
