That was Wordsworth on the French Revolution, although it's fair to say his ardour diminished somewhat as the blood toll rose. 2016's Brexit & Trump weren't quite the French Revolution (at least not yet), though I'm pretty sure the young aren't feeling the bliss right now.Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,But to be young was very heaven!William Wordsworth
