More quotes by William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
A perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command And yet a Spirit still, and bright With something of angelic light

William Wordsworth
For youthful faults ripe virtues shall atone.
William Wordsworth
The oldest man he seemed that ever wore grey hairs.
William Wordsworth
Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretch'd in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth
Two voices are there one is of the sea, One of the mountains: each a mighty Voice.
William Wordsworth
And mighty poets in their misery dead.
William Wordsworth
Recognizes ever and anon The breeze of Nature stirring in his soul.
William Wordsworth
Serene will be our days, and bright and happy will our nature be, when love is an unerring light, and joy its own security.
William Wordsworth
