William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
A tale in everything.
William Wordsworth
Be mild, and cleave to gentle things, thy glory and thy happiness be there.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Every gift of noble origin Is breathed upon by Hope's perpetual breath.
William Wordsworth
The ocean is a mighty harmonist.
William Wordsworth
Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.
William Wordsworth
