More quotes by William Wordsworth

Image
Action is transitory, a step, a blow, The motion of a muscle, this way or that, 'Tis done--And in the after-vacancy, We wonder at ourselves, like men betrayed.
William Wordsworth
Image
The feather, whence the pen Was shaped that traced the lives of these good men, Dropped from an angel's wing.
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!
William Wordsworth
Image
Plain living and high thinking are no more.
William Wordsworth
Image
Stern Winter loves a dirge-like sound.
William Wordsworth
Image
And homeless near a thousand homes I stood, And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.
William Wordsworth
Image
Or shipwrecked, kindles on the coast False fires, that others may be lost.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
The child is father of the man.
William Wordsworth
Image
A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows.
William Wordsworth
Image
Ten thousand saw I at a glance, tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth
Image
Knowing that Nature never did betray the heart that loved her 'tis her privilege, through all the years of this our life, to lead from joy to joy.
William Wordsworth
Image
Delight and liberty, the simple creed of childhood.
William Wordsworth
Image
And the most difficult of tasks to keep Heights which the soul is competent to gain.
William Wordsworth
Image
The Eagle, he was lord above
William Wordsworth
Image
But an old age serene and bright, and lovely as a Lapland night, shall lead thee to thy grave.
William Wordsworth
Image
I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts a sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused, whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, and the round ocean, and the living air, and the blue sky, and in the mind of man.
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
Wisdom and Spirit of the universe! Thou soul, that art the eternity of thought, And giv'st to forms and images a breath And everlasting motion.
William Wordsworth
Image
Though inland far we be, Our souls have sight of that immortal sea Which brought us hither.
William Wordsworth
