Trailing Clouds of Glory
I have seen "Trailing Clouds of Glory" in the title of several books like:
"Trailing Clouds of Glory: Zachary Taylor's Mexican War Campaign and His Emerging Civil War Leaders"
"Trailing Clouds of Glory: Spiritual Values in Children's Literature"
"Trailing Clouds of Glory" by Bruce Neath
"Trailing Clouds of Glory" by Harold A. Widdison
I know that it comes from a poem by William Wordsworth, but what does "trailing clouds" exactly mean?
"Trailing Clouds of Glory: Zachary Taylor's Mexican War Campaign and His Emerging Civil War Leaders"

red applewhat does "trailing clouds" exactly mean?with clouds following behind us
"trail" is a verb that means following. The use of the -ing form suggests that a continuous tense is implied: Clouds are trailing behind us.
There is an alternation of this pattern thus: We are trailing clouds ~ We have clouds trailing us.
