The child is father of the man: And I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Image
Rapine, avarice, expense, This is idolatry and these we adore Plain living and high thinking are no more.
William Wordsworth
Image
What is good for a bootless bene? With these dark words begins my tale And their meaning is, Whence can comfort spring When prayer is of no avail?
William Wordsworth
Image
Free as a bird to settle where I will.
William Wordsworth
Image
A lawyer art thou? Draw not nigh! Go, carry to some fitter place The keenness of that practised eye, The hardness of that sallow face.
William Wordsworth

A youth to whom was given So much of earth, so much of heaven.
William Wordsworth
