More quotes by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd A host of golden daffodils Beside the lake beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
William Wordsworth
On Man, on Nature, and on Human Life, Musing in solitude, I oft perceive Fair trains of images before me rise, Accompanied by feelings of delight Pure, or with no unpleasing sadness mixed.
William Wordsworth
As thou these ashes, little brook, wilt bear Into the Avon, Avon to the tide Of Severn, Severn to the narrow seas, Into main ocean they, this deed accursed An emblem yields to friends and enemies How the bold teacher's doctrine, sanctified By truth, shall spread, throughout the world dispersed.
William Wordsworth
Rest and be thankful.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Fear is a cloak which old men huddle about their love, as if to keep it warm.

William Wordsworth
Brothers all In honour, as in one community, Scholars and gentlemen.
William Wordsworth
She was a phantom of delight When first she gleamed upon my sight, A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment's ornament Her eyes as stars of twilight fair, Like twilights too her dusky hair, But all things else about her drawn From May-time and the cheerful dawn.
William Wordsworth
We live by admiration, hope and love.
William Wordsworth
A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable.
William Wordsworth
Whom neither shape of danger can dismay, Nor thought of tender happiness betray.
William Wordsworth
The mind of man is a thousand times more beautiful than the earth on which he dwells.
William Wordsworth
Pleasure is spread through the earth In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find.
William Wordsworth
Far from the world I walk, and from all care.
William Wordsworth
What is pride? A rocket that emulates the stars.
William Wordsworth
Our noisy years seem moments in the being Of the eternal Silence.
William Wordsworth
'Tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes!
William Wordsworth
All men feel a habitual gratitude, and something of an honorable bigotry, for the objects which have long continued to please them.
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
