William Wordsworth
the Mind of Man-- My haunt, and the main region of my song.
William Wordsworth
All men feel a habitual gratitude, and something of an honorable bigotry, for the objects which have long continued to please them.

William Wordsworth
The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.
