More quotes by William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
A man he seems of cheerful yesterdays And confident tomorrows.
William Wordsworth
He loves not well whose love is bold! I would not have thee come too nigh. The sun's gold would not seem pure gold Unless the sun were in the sky: To take him thence and chain him near Would make his beauty disappear. William Winter, Love's Queen. The unconquerable pang of despised love.
William Wordsworth
Nor less I deem that there are Powers Which of themselves our minds impress That we can feed this mind of ours In a wise passiveness
William Wordsworth
Earth has not anything to show more fair.
William Wordsworth
