More quotes by William Wordsworth
But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave.
William Wordsworth
The sounding cataract Haunted me like a passion the tall rock, The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood, An appetite a feeling and a love that had no need of a remoter charm by thought supplied, nor any interest Unborrowed from the eye.
William Wordsworth
Prompt to move but firm to wait - knowing things rashly sought are rarely found.
William Wordsworth
And mighty poets in their misery dead.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth

Bright flower! whose home is everywhere Bold in maternal nature's care And all the long year through the heir Of joy or sorrow, Methinks that there abides in thee Some concord with humanity, Given to no other flower I see The forest through.
William Wordsworth
A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable.
William Wordsworth
A light to guide, a rod To check the erring, and reprove.
William Wordsworth
Free as a bird to settle where I will.
William Wordsworth
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
William Wordsworth
Small service is true service, while it lasts.
William Wordsworth
Truths that wake To perish never
William Wordsworth
I travelled among unknown men, In lands beyond the sea Nor England! did I know till then What love I bore to thee.
William Wordsworth
Therefore am I still a lover of the meadows and the woods, and mountains and of all that we behold from this green earth.
William Wordsworth
