William Wordsworth
Let Nature be your teacher
William Wordsworth
I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.
William Wordsworth
Milton, in his hand The thing became a trumpet
William Wordsworth
Monastic brotherhood, upon rock Aerial.

William Wordsworth
A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.
William Wordsworth
A Briton even in love should be A subject, not a slave!
William Wordsworth
The first cuckoo's melancholy cry.
William Wordsworth
What know we of the Blest above but that they sing, and that they love?
William Wordsworth
He who feels contempt for any living thing hath faculties that he hath never used, and thought with him is in its infancy.
William Wordsworth
Wisdom sits with children round her knees.
William Wordsworth
The monumental pomp of age Was with this goodly personage A stature undepressed in size, Unbent, which rather seemed to rise In open victory o'er the weight Of seventy years, to loftier height.
William Wordsworth
