More quotes by Dorothy Wordsworth
I've been a dweller on the plains, have sighed when summer days were gone No more I'll sigh for winter here Hath gladsome gardens of his own.
Dorothy Wordsworth
It is a pleasure to a real lover of Nature to give winter all the glory he can, for summer will make its own way, and speak its own praises.
Dorothy Wordsworth
An injudicious and malignant enemy often serves the cause he means to injure but a feeble friend never attains that end.
Dorothy Wordsworth
I found a strawberry blossom in a rock. I uprooted it rashly and felt as if I had been committing an outrage, so I planted it again.
Dorothy Wordsworth
The moon shone like herrings in the water.
Dorothy Wordsworth

Dorothy Wordsworth
Every question was like the snapping of a little thread about my heart.
Dorothy Wordsworth
The columbine ... is a graceful slender creature, a female seeking retirement, and growing freest and most graceful where it is most alone. I observed that the more shaded plants were always the tallest.
Dorothy Wordsworth
The moon had the old moon in her arms.
