Look for the stars, you'll say that there are none / Look up a second time, and, one by one, / You mark them twinkling out with silvery light, / And wonder how they could elude the sight!

More quotes by William Wordsworth
She gave me eyes, she gave me ears And humble cares, and delicate fears A heart, the fountain of sweet tears And love and thought and joy.
William Wordsworth
Worse than idle is compassion if it ends in tears and sighs.
William Wordsworth
Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.
William Wordsworth
Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind, And, even with something of a mother's mind, And no unworthy aim, The homely nurse doth all she can To make her foster child, her inmate man, Forget the glories he hath known And that imperial palace whence he came.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep! The river glideth at his own sweet will Dear God! the very houses seem asleep And all that mighty heart is lying still!
William Wordsworth
Plain living and high thinking are no more.
William Wordsworth
And he is oft the wisest manWho is not wise at all.
William Wordsworth
Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the milky way, They stretch'd in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay: Ten thousand saw I at a glance Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
William Wordsworth
The weight of sadness was in wonder lost.
William Wordsworth
Often have I sighed to measure By myself a lonely pleasure,- Sighed to think I read a book, Only read, perhaps, by me.
William Wordsworth
His high endeavours are an inward light That makes the path before him always bright.
William Wordsworth
Monastic brotherhood, upon rock Aerial.
William Wordsworth
The bosom-weight, your stubborn gift, That no philosophy can lift.
William Wordsworth
