'T is hers to pluck the amaranthine flower Of faith, and round the sufferer's temples bind Wreaths that endure affliction's heaviest shower, And do not shrink from sorrow's keenest wind.
William Wordsworth
Image
O dearer far than light and life are dear.
William Wordsworth
Image
Enough, if something from our hands have power To live, and act, and serve the future hour And if, as toward the silent tomb we go, Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent dower, We feel that we are greater than we know.
William Wordsworth
Image
Not Chaos, not the darkest pit of lowest Erebus, nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out by help of dreams - can breed such fear and awe as fall upon us often when we look into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.
William Wordsworth
Image
A tale in everything.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Image
Wisdom sits with children round her knees.
William Wordsworth
Image
I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.
William Wordsworth
Image
Now when the primrose makes a splendid show, And lilies face the March-winds in full blow, And humbler growths as moved with one desire Put on, to welcome spring, their best attire, Poor Robin is yet flowerless but how gay With his red stalks upon this sunny day!
William Wordsworth
Image
To the solid ground Of nature trusts the Mind that builds for aye.
William Wordsworth
Image
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
William Wordsworth
Image
Heaven lies about us in our infancy.
William Wordsworth
Image
Look at the fate of summer flowers, which blow at daybreak, droop ere even-song.
William Wordsworth
Image
One that would peep and botanize Upon his mother's grave.
William Wordsworth
Image
The flower that smells the sweetest is shy and lowly.
