More quotes by William Wordsworth
One of those heavenly days that cannot die.
William Wordsworth
'Tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes!
William Wordsworth
I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts a sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused, whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, and the round ocean, and the living air, and the blue sky, and in the mind of man.
William Wordsworth
Ethereal minstrel! pilgrim of the sky! Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound? Or, while the wings aspire, are heart and eye Both with thy nest upon the dewy ground?
William Wordsworth
For all things are less dreadful than they seem.
William Wordsworth
Thou unassuming common-place of Nature, with that homely face.
William Wordsworth
As high as we have mounted in delight, In our dejection do we sink as low.
William Wordsworth
Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower.
William Wordsworth
The stars of midnight shall be dear To her and she shall lean her ear In many a secret place Where rivulets dance their wayward round, And beauty born of murmuring sound Shall pass into her face.
William Wordsworth
Nuns fret not at their convent's narrow room And hermits are contented with their cells.
William Wordsworth
No motion has she now, no force she neither hears nor sees rolled around in earth's diurnal course, with rocks, and stones, and trees.
William Wordsworth
The clouds that gather round the setting sun, Do take a sober colouring from an eye, That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality.
William Wordsworth
Love betters what is best
William Wordsworth
Earth helped him with the cry of blood.
William Wordsworth
We live by admiration, hope and love.
William Wordsworth
Or shipwrecked, kindles on the coast False fires, that others may be lost.
William Wordsworth
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, The holy time is quiet as a nun Breathless with adoration the broad sun Is sinking down in its tranquillity The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the sea: Listen! the mighty being is awake, And doth with his eternal motion make A sound like thundereverlastingly.
William Wordsworth
I listened, motionless and still And, as I mounted up the hill, The music in my heart I bore, Long after it was heard no more.
William Wordsworth
The child is the father of man.
William Wordsworth
Men are we, and must grieve when even the shade Of that which once was great is passed away.
William Wordsworth
