William Wordsworth

I listened, motionless and still And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.
William Wordsworth

Knowing that Nature never did betray the heart that loved her 'tis her privilege, through all the years of this our life, to lead from joy to joy.

The gods approve The depth, and not the tumult, of the soul.
William Wordsworth
Image
Two voices are there one is of the sea, One of the mountains: each a mighty Voice.
William Wordsworth
Image
And when a damp Fell round the path of Milton, in his hand The thing became a trumpet whence he blew Soul-animating strains,-alas! too few.
