"She to highest hopes
Was destined, -- in a firmer mould was wrought,
And tempered with a purer, brighter flame."
Akenside.
When the achievements of the nineteenth century shall be tabulated, the wonderful work of Dr. Howe will not be very far from the head of the column.
Save the traditional legends of supernatural miracles, there is nothing left on record to transcend such an astonishing height as was attained by the consummate skill which this knight-errant of humanity showed in the deliverance of Laura Bridgman from the dreadful prison of ever-enduring darkness and dreary stillness. The success of his courageous efforts to roll away the ponderous stone from the door of the sepulchre, wherein the faculties of this hapless human being were entombed, was a glorious triumph for our civilization and an incalculable gain for the philosophy of education. The commanding voice which said "come forth" to the buried mind of a blind deaf-mute, and was obeyed, reached the loftiest degree of eminence known to history, and made clear Dr. Howe's title to a prominent place in the pantheon of the benefactors of mankind.

For other people named Helen Keller, see Helen Keller (disambiguation).
Helen Adams Keller (June 27, 1880 – June 1, 1968) was an American author, disability rights advocate, political activist and lecturer. Born in West Tuscumbia, Alabama, she lost her sight and her hearing after a bout of illness when she was 19 months old. She then communicated primarily using home signs until the age of seven, when she met her first teacher and life-long companion Anne Sullivan. Sullivan taught Keller language, including reading and writing. After an education at both specialist and mainstream schools, Keller attended Radcliffe College of Harvard University and became the first deafblind person in the United States to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree.[1]
Keller was also a prolific author, writing 14 books and hundreds of speeches and essays on topics ranging from animals to Mahatma Gandhi.[2] Keller campaigned for those with disabilities and for women's suffrage, labor rights, and world peace.
