Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
William Wordsworth
Image
The sunshine is a glorious birth But yet I know, where'er I go, That there hath passed away a glory from the earth.
William Wordsworth
Image
I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy, The sleepless soul that perished in his pride Of him who walked in glory and in joy, Following his plough, along the mountain-side. By our own spirits we are deified We Poets in our youth begin in gladness, But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.
William Wordsworth
Image

William Wordsworth
Image
Let beeves and home-bred kine partake The sweets of Burn-mill meadow The swan on still St. Mary's Lake Float double, swan and shadow!
William Wordsworth
Image
But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave.
William Wordsworth
Image
The child shall become father to the man.
William Wordsworth
Image
How many undervalue the power of simplicity ! But it is the real key to the heart.
William Wordsworth
Image
That inward eye/ Which is the bliss of solitude.
William Wordsworth
Image
Not Chaos, not the darkest pit of lowest Erebus, nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out by help of dreams - can breed such fear and awe as fall upon us often when we look into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.
William Wordsworth
Image
The moving accident is not my trade To freeze the blood I have no ready arts: 'Tis my delight, alone in summer shade, To pipe a simple song for thinking hearts.
William Wordsworth
