There is One great society alone on earth: The noble living and the noble dead.
William Wordsworth
Image
The Eagle, he was lord above
William Wordsworth
Image
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd A host of golden daffodils Beside the lake beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
William Wordsworth
Image
But hushed be every thought that springs From out the bitterness of things.
William Wordsworth
Image
Or shipwrecked, kindles on the coast False fires, that others may be lost.

To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
William Wordsworth
Image
The gods approve The depth, and not the tumult, of the soul.

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
As thou these ashes, little brook, wilt bear Into the Avon, Avon to the tide Of Severn, Severn to the narrow seas, Into main ocean they, this deed accursed An emblem yields to friends and enemies How the bold teacher's doctrine, sanctified By truth, shall spread, throughout the world dispersed.

William Wordsworth
Image

William Wordsworth
Image
Give all thou canst high Heaven rejects the lore of nicely-caluculated less or more.
William Wordsworth
Image
Enough, if something from our hands have power To live, and act, and serve the future hour And if, as toward the silent tomb we go, Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent dower, We feel that we are greater than we know.
William Wordsworth
Image
Delivered from the galling yoke of time.
William Wordsworth
Image
Poetry is the first and last of all knowledge - it is as immortal as the heart of man.
William Wordsworth
Image
Careless of books, yet having felt the power Of Nature, by the gentle agency Of natural objects, led me on to feel For passions that were not my own, and think (At random and imperfectly indeed) On man, the heart of man, and human life.
William Wordsworth
Image
I'll teach my boy the sweetest things I'll teach him how the owlet sings.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
