Even thus last night, and two nights more I lay, And could not win thee, Sleep, by any stealth: So do not let me wear to-night away. Without thee what is all the morning's wealth? Come, blessed barrier between day and day, Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!
William Wordsworth
Image
We live by Admiration, Hope, and Love And, even as these are well and wisely fixed, In dignity of being we ascend.
William Wordsworth
Image

William Wordsworth
Image

William Wordsworth
Image
Oft in my way have I stood still, though but a casual passenger, so much I felt the awfulness of life.
William Wordsworth
