About This Quote
This is the phrase that was written on an 18th century tombstone of a girl named Anna Laetitia Barbauld. She was born in 1743, and she died at the age of 43. When she was young, she wrote a poem called "The Man who wept," and we may never know why she wrote it. She died when she was 43-years-old, and she is buried in Hampstead, north London.
She may have written this phrase when she came to the realization that God can dwell in a soul. This idea of God residing in a person may sound like blasphemy to some, but it isn’t. It is simply another way of saying that God is within us all.
