More quotes by William Wordsworth
Men are we, and must grieve when even the shade Of that which once was great is passed away.
William Wordsworth
Sweet is the lore which Nature brings Our meddling intellect Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things We murder to dissect. Enough of Science and of Art Close up these barren leaves Come forth, and bring with you a heart That watches and receives.
William Wordsworth
Milton! thou should'st be living at this hour: England hath need of thee! . . . . . . Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart: So didst thou travel on life's common way In cheerful godliness.
William Wordsworth
Controls them and subdues, transmutes, bereaves Of their bad influence, and their good receives.
William Wordsworth
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
Often have I sighed to measure By myself a lonely pleasure,- Sighed to think I read a book, Only read, perhaps, by me.
William Wordsworth
poetry is the breath and finer spirit of knowledge
William Wordsworth
Thou unassuming common-place of Nature, with that homely face.
William Wordsworth
But hushed be every thought that springs From out the bitterness of things.
William Wordsworth
Even thus last night, and two nights more I lay, And could not win thee, Sleep, by any stealth: So do not let me wear to-night away. Without thee what is all the morning's wealth? Come, blessed barrier between day and day, Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!
William Wordsworth
O Cuckoo! shall I call thee bird, Or but a wandering voice?
William Wordsworth
A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.
William Wordsworth
We meet thee, like a pleasant thought, When such are wanted.
William Wordsworth
What we have loved Others will love And we will teach them how.
William Wordsworth
Sweetest melodies.Are those that are by distance made more sweet.
William Wordsworth
Poetry is most just to its divine origin, when it administers the comforts and breathes the thoughts of religion.
William Wordsworth
He spake of love, such love as spirits feel In worlds whose course is equable and pure No fears to beat away, no strife to heal,- The past unsighed for, and the future sure.
William Wordsworth
There is a luxury in self-dispraise And inward self-disparagement affords To meditative spleen a grateful feast.
William Wordsworth
That inward eye/ Which is the bliss of solitude.
William Wordsworth
We Poets in our youth begin in gladness But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.
William Wordsworth
