Free as a bird to settle where I will.
William Wordsworth
Image
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
William Wordsworth
Image
To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
William Wordsworth
Image
Society became my glittering bride, And airy hopes my children.
William Wordsworth
Image
Poetry is the first and last of all knowledge - it is as immortal as the heart of man.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
Image
We live by admiration, hope and love.
William Wordsworth
Image
In ourselves our safety must be sought. By our own right hand it must be wrought.
William Wordsworth
Image
Monastic brotherhood, upon rock Aerial.
William Wordsworth
Image
All that we behold is full of blessings.

Image
And I am happy when I sing.
William Wordsworth

Plain living and high thinking are no more.
William Wordsworth
Image
...one interior life in which all beings live with God, themselves are God, existing in the mighty whole, indistinguishable as the cloudless east is from the cloudless west, when all the hemisphere is one cerulean blue.
William Wordsworth
Image
How fast has brother followed brother, From sunshine to the sunless land!
William Wordsworth
Image
Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.
William Wordsworth
Image
What are fears but voices airy? Whispering harm where harm is not. And deluding the unwary Till the fatal bolt is shot!
William Wordsworth
Image
Poetry is most just to its divine origin, when it administers the comforts and breathes the thoughts of religion.
William Wordsworth
Image
Look at the fate of summer flowers, which blow at daybreak, droop ere even-song.
William Wordsworth
Image
A few strong instincts and a few plain rules.
