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.

More quotes by 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
Until, the breath of this corporeal frame And even the motion of our human blood Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While with an eye made quiet by the power Of harmony, and the deep power of joy, We see into the life of things.
William Wordsworth
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
William Wordsworth
Science appears but what in truth she is, Not as our glory and our absolute boast, But as a succedaneum, and a prop To our infirmity.
William Wordsworth
Thought and theory must precede all action, that moves to salutary purposes. Yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
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
Dreams, books, are each a world.
William Wordsworth
A Primrose by a river's brim A yellow primrose was to him And it was something more.
William Wordsworth
Pansies, lilies, kingcups, daisies, Let them live upon their praises.

A power is passing from the earth.
William Wordsworth
And now I see with eye serene, The very pulse of the machine. A being breathing thoughtful breaths, A traveler between life and death.
William Wordsworth
I look for ghosts but none will force Their way to me. 'Tis falsely said That there was ever intercourse Between the living and the dead.
William Wordsworth
My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began So is it now I am a man So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.
William Wordsworth
The wind, a sightless laborer, whistles at his task.
William Wordsworth
To be young was very heaven!
William Wordsworth
A few strong instincts and a few plain rules.
William Wordsworth
Turning, for them who pass, the common dust Of servile opportunity to gold.
William Wordsworth
The vision and the faculty divine Yet wanting the accomplishment of verse.
William Wordsworth
Like an army defeated the snow hath retreated.
William Wordsworth
