William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Not in Utopia, -- subterranean fields, --Or some secreted island, Heaven knows whereBut in the very world, which is the worldOf all of us, -- the place where in the endWe find our happiness, or not at all
William Wordsworth
We live by Admiration, Hope, and Love And, even as these are well and wisely fixed, In dignity of being we ascend.
William Wordsworth
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
William Wordsworth
Worse than idle is compassion if it ends in tears and sighs.
William Wordsworth
What know we of the Blest above but that they sing, and that they love?
William Wordsworth
All that we behold is full of blessings.
William Wordsworth
The wind, a sightless laborer, whistles at his task.
