Image
Burn all the statutes and their shelves: They stir us up against our kind And worse, against ourselves.
William Wordsworth
Image
My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began So is it now I am a man So be it when I shall grow old, Or let me die! The Child is father of the Man I could wish my days to be Bound each to each by natural piety.
William Wordsworth
Image
Rapine, avarice, expense, This is idolatry and these we adore Plain living and high thinking are no more.

Image
Never to blend our pleasure or our pride With sorrow of the meanest thing that feels.

Plain living and high thinking are no more.

William Wordsworth
Image
My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky: So was it when my life began So is it now I am a man.

Of all that is most beauteous, imaged there In happier beauty more pellucid streams, An ampler ether, a diviner air, And fields invested with purpureal gleams.
William Wordsworth
Image
Thought and theory must precede all action, that moves to salutary purposes. Yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
William Wordsworth
Image
From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed.
William Wordsworth
Image
Pansies, lilies, kingcups, daisies, Let them live upon their praises.
William Wordsworth
Image
Though inland far we be, Our souls have sight of that immortal sea Which brought us hither.
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
That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
William Wordsworth
Image
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns.
William Wordsworth
Image
The sightless Milton, with his hair Around his placid temples curled And Shakespeare at his side,-a freight, If clay could think and mind were weight, For him who bore the world!
