More quotes by William Wordsworth
But hearing oftentimes The still, sad music of humanity.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
O joy! that in our embers Is something that doth live, That nature yet remembers What was so fugitive!
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
If the time should ever come when what is now called Science, thus famliarised to men, shall be ready to put on, as it were, a form of flesh and blood, the Poet will lend his divine spirit to the aid the transfiguration, and will welcome the Being thus produced, as a dear and genuine inmate of the household of man.
William Wordsworth
A few strong instincts and a few plain rules.
William Wordsworth
But He is risen, a later star of dawn.
William Wordsworth
I should dread to disfigure the beautiful ideal of the memories of illustrious persons with incongruous features, and to sully the imaginative purity of classical works with gross and trivial recollections.
William Wordsworth
Hearing often-times the still, sad music of humanity, nor harsh nor grating, though of ample power to chasten and subdue.
William Wordsworth
My eyes are dim with childish tears, My heart is idly stirred, For the same sound is in my ears Which in those days I heard.
William Wordsworth
Death is the quiet haven of us all.
William Wordsworth
