Trailing Clouds of Glory

Wordsworth. All of Main Library's books by William Wordsworth are checked out. It's a mystery, what could have brought him to several people's minds at the same time.
       The Complete Poetical Works of William Wordsworth (1888) is available online in full text from the Bartleby site. The library has works by and about Wordworth, and about the English Romantic poets of the 19th century. The allusion above is from "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood", probably the poem best remembered today. Well, that one and the daffodils.
