More quotes by William Wordsworth
A mind forever Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.
William Wordsworth
Since thy return, through days and weeks Of hope that grew by stealth, How many wan and faded cheeks Have kindled into health! The Old, by thee revived, have said, 'Another year is ours' And wayworn Wanderers, poorly fed, Have smiled upon thy flowers.
William Wordsworth
Rapt into still communion that transcends The imperfect offices of prayer and praise, His mind was a thanksgiving to the power That made him it was blessedness and love!
William Wordsworth
With little here to do or see Of things that in the great world be, Sweet Daisy! oft I talk to thee For thou art worthy, Thou unassuming commonplace Of Nature, with that homely face, And yet with something of a grace Which love makes for thee!
William Wordsworth
The earth was all before me. With a heart Joyous, nor scared at its own liberty, I look about and should the chosen guide Be nothing better than a wandering cloud, I cannot miss my way.
William Wordsworth
Men are we, and must grieve when even the shade Of that which once was great is passed away.
William Wordsworth
Delivered from the galling yoke of time.

William Wordsworth
Nor less I deem that there are Powers Which of themselves our minds impress That we can feed this mind of ours In a wise passiveness
William Wordsworth
There is One great society alone on earth: The noble living and the noble dead.
William Wordsworth
Look at the fate of summer flowers, which blow at daybreak, droop ere even-song.
William Wordsworth
The eye— it cannot choose but see we cannot bid the ear be still our bodies feel, where'er they be, against or with our will.
William Wordsworth
Two voices are there one is of the sea, One of the mountains: each a mighty Voice.
William Wordsworth
We have within ourselves Enough to fill the present day with joy, And overspread the future years with hope.
William Wordsworth
Huge and mighty forms that do not live like living men, moved slowly through the mind by day and were trouble to my dreams.
William Wordsworth
Great God! I'd rather be a Pagan.
William Wordsworth
From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed.
William Wordsworth
