Image
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
Image
The sightless Milton, with his hair Around his placid temples curled And Shakespeare at his side,-a freight, If clay could think and mind were weight, For him who bore the world!
William Wordsworth
Image
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
Image
Take the sweet poetry of life away, and what remains behind?
William Wordsworth
Image
Type of the wise who soar but never roam, True to the kindred points of heaven and home.
William Wordsworth
Image
Sweet Mercy! to the gates of heaven This minstrel lead, his sins forgiven The rueful conflict, the heart riven With vain endeavour, And memory of Earth's bitter leaven Effaced forever.
William Wordsworth
Image
With battlements that on their restless fronts Bore stars.
William Wordsworth
Image
For youthful faults ripe virtues shall atone.
William Wordsworth

We bow our heads before Thee, and we laud, And magnify thy name Almighty God! But man is thy most awful instrument, In working out a pure intent.
William Wordsworth
Image
She gave me eyes, she gave me ears And humble cares, and delicate fears A heart, the fountain of sweet tears And love and thought and joy.
William Wordsworth

In years that bring the philosophic mind.
William Wordsworth
Image
Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.
William Wordsworth
Image
The stars of midnight shall be dear To her and she shall lean her ear In many a secret place Where rivulets dance their wayward round, And beauty born of murmuring sound Shall pass into her face.
William Wordsworth
Image
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts bring sad thoughts to the mind.
William Wordsworth
Image
Thought and theory must precede all action, that moves to salutary purposes. Yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
William Wordsworth
Image
Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.
William Wordsworth
Image
Habit rules the unreflecting herd.
William Wordsworth
Image
Laying out grounds may be considered a liberal art, in some sort like poetry and painting.
William Wordsworth
Image
Some natural sorrow, loss, or pain That has been, and may be again.
William Wordsworth
