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
Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.
William Wordsworth
Image
And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man.
William Wordsworth
Image
While all the future, for thy purer soul, With sober certainties of love is blest.
William Wordsworth
Image
When his veering gait And every motion of his starry train Seem governed by a strain Of music, audible to him alone.
William Wordsworth
Image
Long as there's a sun that sets, Primroses will have their glory Long as there are violets, They will have a place in story: There's a flower that shall be mine, 'Tis the little Celandine.
William Wordsworth
Image
The monumental pomp of age Was with this goodly personage A stature undepressed in size, Unbent, which rather seemed to rise In open victory o'er the weight Of seventy years, to loftier height.
William Wordsworth
Image
Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretch'd in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth
Image
For all things are less dreadful than they seem.
William Wordsworth
Image
Action is transitory, a step, a blow, The motion of a muscle, this way or that, 'Tis done--And in the after-vacancy, We wonder at ourselves, like men betrayed.
William Wordsworth
Image
The vision and the faculty divine Yet wanting the accomplishment of verse.
William Wordsworth
Image
Ethereal minstrel! pilgrim of the sky! Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound? Or, while the wings aspire, are heart and eye Both with thy nest upon the dewy ground?
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
Earth helped him with the cry of blood.
William Wordsworth
Image
But hushed be every thought that springs From out the bitterness of things.
William Wordsworth
Image
Dreams, books, are each a world.
William Wordsworth
Image
Of friends, however humble, scorn not one.
William Wordsworth
Image
One solace yet remains for us who came Into this world in days when story lacked Severe research, that in our hearts we know How, for exciting youth's heroic flame, Assent is power, belief the soul of fact.
William Wordsworth
Image
Yet tears to human suffering are due And mortal hopes defeated and o'erthrown Are mourned by man, and not by man alone.
William Wordsworth
Image
Men who can hear the Decalogue, and feel To self-reproach.
William Wordsworth
