Image
Oh, blank confusion! true epitome Of what the mighty City is herself, To thousands upon thousands of her sons, Living amid the same perpetual whirl Of trivial objects, melted and reduced To one identity.
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
For youthful faults ripe virtues shall atone.
William Wordsworth
Image
Even thus last night, and two nights more I lay, And could not win thee, Sleep, by any stealth: So do not let me wear to-night away. Without thee what is all the morning's wealth? Come, blessed barrier between day and day, Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!
William Wordsworth
Image
Love betters what is best
William Wordsworth
Image
I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.
William Wordsworth
Image
A great poet ought to a certain degree to rectify men's feelings... to render their feelings more sane, pure and permanent, in short, more consonant to Nature.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
Image
Come grow old with me. The best is yet to be.
William Wordsworth
Image
Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind--But how could I forget thee?
William Wordsworth
Image
The daisy, by the shadow that it casts, Protects the lingering dewdrop from the sun.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
Image
And the most difficult of tasks to keep Heights which the soul is competent to gain.
William Wordsworth
Image
She seemed a thing that could not feel the touch of earthly years.
William Wordsworth
Image
Wisdom and spirit of the Universe!
William Wordsworth
Image
Earth has not anything to show more fair.
William Wordsworth
Image
Sad fancies do we then affect, In luxury of disrespect To our own prodigal excess Of too familiar happiness.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
Image
Hunt half a day for a forgotten dream.
William Wordsworth
Image
Every great and original writer, in proportion as he is great and original, must himself create the taste by which he is to be relished.
William Wordsworth
