More quotes by William Wordsworth
Like an army defeated The snow hath retreated, And now doth fare ill On the top of the bare hill The Ploughboy is whooping — anon — anon! There's joy in the mountains: There's life in the fountains Small clouds are sailing, Blue sky prevailing The rain is over and gone.
William Wordsworth
Knowledge and increase of enduring joy From the great Nature that exists in works Of mighty Poets.
William Wordsworth
But who, if he be called upon to face Some awful moment to which Heaven has joined Great issues, good or bad for humankind, Is happy as a lover.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
And the most difficult of tasks to keep Heights which the soul is competent to gain.

William Wordsworth
Meek Walton's heavenly memory.
William Wordsworth
Long as there's a sun that sets, Primroses will have their glory Long as there are violets, They will have a place in story: There's a flower that shall be mine, 'Tis the little Celandine.
William Wordsworth
How is it that you live, and what is it you do?
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
And through the heat of conflict keeps the law In calmness made, and sees what he foresaw.
William Wordsworth
Faith is a passionate intuition.
William Wordsworth
All that we behold is full of blessings.
William Wordsworth
Controls them and subdues, transmutes, bereaves Of their bad influence, and their good receives.
William Wordsworth
Memories... images and precious thoughts that shall not die and cannot be destroyed.
William Wordsworth
Love betters what is best
William Wordsworth
