More quotes by William Wordsworth
What are fears but voices airy? Whispering harm where harm is not. And deluding the unwary Till the fatal bolt is shot!
William Wordsworth
What is good for a bootless bene? With these dark words begins my tale And their meaning is, Whence can comfort spring When prayer is of no avail?
William Wordsworth
Beneath these fruit-tree boughs that shed Their snow-white blossoms on my head, With brightest sunshine round me spread Of spring's unclouded weather, In this sequestered nook how sweet To sit upon my orchard-seat! And birds and flowers once more to greet, My last year's friends together.
William Wordsworth
If thou art beautiful, and youth and thought endue thee with all truth-be strong--be worthy of the grace of God.
William Wordsworth
Faith is a passionate intuition.
William Wordsworth
I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts a sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused, whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, and the round ocean, and the living air, and the blue sky, and in the mind of man.
William Wordsworth
The streams with softest sound are flowing, The grass you almost hear it growing, You hear it now, if e'er you can.
William Wordsworth
A deep distress has humanised my soul.
William Wordsworth
the Mind of Man-- My haunt, and the main region of my song.
William Wordsworth
The education of circumstances is superior to that of tuition.
William Wordsworth
Open-mindedness is the harvest of a quiet eye.
William Wordsworth
O dearer far than light and life are dear.
William Wordsworth
Provoke The years to bring the inevitable yoke.
William Wordsworth
Not Chaos, not the darkest pit of lowest Erebus, nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out by help of dreams - can breed such fear and awe as fall upon us often when we look into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.
William Wordsworth
Look at the fate of summer flowers, which blow at daybreak, droop ere even-song.
William Wordsworth
For nature then to me was all in all.
William Wordsworth
If the time should ever come when what is now called Science, thus famliarised to men, shall be ready to put on, as it were, a form of flesh and blood, the Poet will lend his divine spirit to the aid the transfiguration, and will welcome the Being thus produced, as a dear and genuine inmate of the household of man.
William Wordsworth
Never to blend our pleasure or our pride With sorrow of the meanest thing that feels.
William Wordsworth
How fast has brother followed brother, From sunshine to the sunless land!
William Wordsworth
With battlements that on their restless fronts Bore stars.
William Wordsworth
