I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy, The sleepless soul that perished in his pride Of him who walked in glory and in joy, Following his plough, along the mountain-side. By our own spirits we are deified We Poets in our youth begin in gladness, But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.

William Wordsworth
Image
O Reader! had you in your mind Such stores as silent thought can bring, O gentle Reader! you would find A tale in everything.

Meek Nature's evening comment on the shows That for oblivion take their daily birth From all the fuming vanities of earth.
