Image
At length the man perceives it die away, And fade into the light of common day.
William Wordsworth
Image
My apprehension comes in crowds, I dread the rustling of the grass, The very shadows of the clouds, Have power to shake me as they pass, I question things and do not find, one that will answer to my mind, And all the world appears unkind.
William Wordsworth
Image
Rapine, avarice, expense, This is idolatry and these we adore Plain living and high thinking are no more.
William Wordsworth
Image
Plain living and high thinking are no more.
William Wordsworth
Image
If the time should ever come when what is now called Science, thus famliarised to men, shall be ready to put on, as it were, a form of flesh and blood, the Poet will lend his divine spirit to the aid the transfiguration, and will welcome the Being thus produced, as a dear and genuine inmate of the household of man.
William Wordsworth
Image

And mighty poets in their misery dead.
William Wordsworth
Image

William Wordsworth
Image

William Wordsworth
Image
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
Image
On a fair prospect some have looked, And felt, as I have heard them say, As if the moving time had been A thing as steadfast as the scene On which they gazed themselves away.
William Wordsworth
Image
Far from the world I walk, and from all care.
William Wordsworth
Image
And he is oft the wisest manWho is not wise at all.
William Wordsworth
Image
While all the future, for thy purer soul, With sober certainties of love is blest.
William Wordsworth
Image
I, methought, while the sweet breath of heaven Was blowing on my body, felt within A correspondent breeze, that gently moved With quickening virtue, but is now become A tempest, a redundant energy, Vexing its own creation.
William Wordsworth
Image
Never to blend our pleasure or our pride With sorrow of the meanest thing that feels.
William Wordsworth
Image
Laying out grounds may be considered a liberal art, in some sort like poetry and painting.
William Wordsworth
Image
Oh, blank confusion! true epitome Of what the mighty City is herself, To thousands upon thousands of her sons, Living amid the same perpetual whirl Of trivial objects, melted and reduced To one identity.
William Wordsworth
Image
To character and success, two things, contradictory as they may seem, must go together... humble dependence on God and manly reliance on self.
William Wordsworth
Image
How is it that you live, and what is it you do?
