William Cowper
William Cowper is an English poet and anthem. One of the most beloved poets of his time, Cowper changed the course of 18th century natural poetry by writing about everyday life and the landscapes of the English countryside. In many ways, he was one of the forerunners of romantic poetry. Samuel Taylor Coleridge called him "the best modern poet", while William Wordsworth particularly admired his poem Yardley-Oak. After being institutionalized for insanity, Cowper found refuge in a fervent evangelical Christian. He continued to be doubted and, after a dream in 1773, believed that he was under a permanent curse. He restored and wrote more religious hymns. His religious affections and association with John Newton led to most of the poems for which he is best remembered, and the Olney Hymn series. His poem "Light Shining out of Darkness" gave English the phrase: "God moves in a mysterious way / His Miracles will be done."
