Alas! how little can a moment show Of an eye where feeling plays In ten thousand dewy rays: A face o'er which a thousand shadows go!
William Wordsworth
Image
Sweet is the lore which Nature brings Our meddling intellect Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things: We murder to dissect.
William Wordsworth

Lady of the Mere, Sole-sitting by the shores of old romance.
William Wordsworth
Image
How fast has brother followed brother, From sunshine to the sunless land!
William Wordsworth
Image
He loves not well whose love is bold! I would not have thee come too nigh. The sun's gold would not seem pure gold Unless the sun were in the sky: To take him thence and chain him near Would make his beauty disappear. William Winter, Love's Queen. The unconquerable pang of despised love.
William Wordsworth
Image
Small service is true service, while it lasts.
William Wordsworth
Image
This City now doth like a garment wear The beauty of the morning silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie Open unto the fields and to the sky All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
William Wordsworth
Image
Strongest minds are often those whom the noisy world hears least.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
