More quotes by William Wordsworth
There is creation in the eye.
William Wordsworth
The Poet, gentle creature as he is, Hath, like the Lover, his unruly times His fits when he is neither sick nor well, Though no distress be near him but his own Unmanageable thoughts.
William Wordsworth
For mightier far Than strength of nerve or sinew, or the sway Of magic potent over sun and star, Is love, though oft to agony distrest, And though his favourite be feeble woman's breast.
William Wordsworth
Father! - to God himself we cannot give a holier name.
William Wordsworth
Ethereal minstrel! pilgrim of the sky! Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound? Or, while the wings aspire, are heart and eye Both with thy nest upon the dewy ground?
William Wordsworth
As high as we have mounted in delight, In our dejection do we sink as low.
William Wordsworth
Minds that have nothing to confer Find little to perceive.
William Wordsworth
When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign is solitude.
William Wordsworth
That inward eye/ Which is the bliss of solitude.
William Wordsworth
Pleasure is spread through the earth In stray gifts to be claimed by whoever shall find.
William Wordsworth
In spite of difference of soil and climate, of language and manners, of laws and customs-in spite of things silently gone out of mind, and things violently destroyed, the Poet binds together by passion and knowledge the vast empire of human society, as it is spread over the whole earth, and over all time.
William Wordsworth
Imagination is the means of deep insight and sympathy, the power to conceive and express images removed from normal objective reality.
William Wordsworth
And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man.
William Wordsworth
And homeless near a thousand homes I stood, And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.
William Wordsworth
Poetry has never brought me in enough money to buy shoestrings.
William Wordsworth
As in the eye of Nature he has lived, So in the eye of Nature let him die!
William Wordsworth
Shalt show us how divine a thing A woman may be made.
William Wordsworth
Never to blend our pleasure or our pride With sorrow of the meanest thing that feels.
William Wordsworth
Primroses, the Spring may love them Summer knows but little of them.
William Wordsworth
Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close upon the growing boy.
William Wordsworth
