William Wordsworth
Image
Poetry is most just to its divine origin, when it administers the comforts and breathes the thoughts of religion.
William Wordsworth

Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
Image
Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark, And shares the nature of infinity.
William Wordsworth
Image
Tis not in battles that from youth we train The Governor who must be wise and good, And temper with the sternness of the brain Thoughts motherly, and meek as womanhood.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
