Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind, And, even with something of a mother's mind, And no unworthy aim, The homely nurse doth all she can To make her foster child, her inmate man, Forget the glories he hath known And that imperial palace whence he came.

William Wordsworth
Image
O dearer far than light and life are dear.
William Wordsworth
Image
The vision and the faculty divine Yet wanting the accomplishment of verse.

A mind forever Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.
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.
