More quotes by William Wordsworth
Mark the babe not long accustomed to this breathing world One that hath barely learned to shape a smile, though yet irrational of soul, to grasp with tiny finger - to let fall a tear And, as the heavy cloud of sleep dissolves, To stretch his limbs, becoming, as might seem.

William Wordsworth
To be young was very heaven!
William Wordsworth
In ourselves our safety must be sought. By our own right hand it must be wrought.
