More quotes by William Wordsworth

Image
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, The holy time is quiet as a nun Breathless with adoration the broad sun Is sinking down in its tranquillity The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the sea: Listen! the mighty being is awake, And doth with his eternal motion make A sound like thundereverlastingly.
William Wordsworth
Image

William Wordsworth
Image
This City now doth like a garment wear The beauty of the morning silent, bare, Ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie Open unto the fields and to the sky All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
William Wordsworth

He spake of love, such love as spirits feel In worlds whose course is equable and pure No fears to beat away, no strife to heal,- The past unsighed for, and the future sure.
William Wordsworth
Image
Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive But to be young was very heaven.
William Wordsworth
Image
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns.
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
I travelled among unknown men, In lands beyond the sea Nor England! did I know till then What love I bore to thee.
William Wordsworth
Image
Yet tears to human suffering are due And mortal hopes defeated and o'erthrown Are mourned by man, and not by man alone.
William Wordsworth
Image
How fast has brother followed brother, From sunshine to the sunless land!
William Wordsworth
Image
Wisdom and spirit of the Universe!
William Wordsworth

Oh for a single hour of that Dundee Who on that day the word of onset gave!

Of friends, however humble, scorn not one.

To the solid ground Of nature trusts the Mind that builds for aye.
