More quotes by William Wordsworth
Nature's old felicities.
William Wordsworth
A lawyer art thou? Draw not nigh! Go, carry to some fitter place The keenness of that practised eye, The hardness of that sallow face.
William Wordsworth
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
Brothers all In honour, as in one community, Scholars and gentlemen.
William Wordsworth
Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind--But how could I forget thee?
William Wordsworth
All that we behold is full of blessings.
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
Poetry has never brought me in enough money to buy shoestrings.
William Wordsworth
Truths that wake To perish never
William Wordsworth
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
Pleasures newly found are sweet When they lie about our feet.
William Wordsworth
Like an army defeated the snow hath retreated.
William Wordsworth
Whether we be young or old,Our destiny, our being's heart and home,Is with infinitude, and only thereWith hope it is, hope that can never die,Effort and expectation, and desire,And something evermore about to be.
William Wordsworth
Heaven lies about us in our infancy.
William Wordsworth
But how can he expect that others should Build for him, sow for him, and at his call Love him, who for himself will take no heed at all?
William Wordsworth
But to a higher mark than song can reach, Rose this pure eloquence.
William Wordsworth
Thought and theory must precede all action, that moves to salutary purposes. Yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory.
William Wordsworth
From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed.
William Wordsworth
Prompt to move but firm to wait - knowing things rashly sought are rarely found.
William Wordsworth
We Poets in our youth begin in gladness But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.
William Wordsworth
