More quotes by William Wordsworth

Image
Until, the breath of this corporeal frame And even the motion of our human blood Almost suspended, we are laid asleep In body, and become a living soul: While 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
Image
Burn all the statutes and their shelves: They stir us up against our kind And worse, against ourselves.
William Wordsworth
Image
Heaven lies about us in our infancy! Shades of the prison-house begin to close upon the growing boy.
William Wordsworth
Image
And through the heat of conflict keeps the law In calmness made, and sees what he foresaw.
William Wordsworth
Image
A power is passing from the earth.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Image
Even thus last night, and two nights more I lay, And could not win thee, Sleep, by any stealth: So do not let me wear to-night away. Without thee what is all the morning's wealth? Come, blessed barrier between day and day, Dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health!
William Wordsworth
Image
And suddenly all your troubles melt away, all your worries are gone, and it is for no reason other than the look in your partner's eyes. Yes, sometimes life and love really is that simple.
William Wordsworth
Image
Books are the best type of the influence of the past.
William Wordsworth
Image
We have within ourselves Enough to fill the present day with joy, And overspread the future years with hope.
William Wordsworth
Image
A happy youth, and their old age Is beautiful and free.
William Wordsworth
Image
Of all that is most beauteous, imaged there In happier beauty more pellucid streams, An ampler ether, a diviner air, And fields invested with purpureal gleams.
William Wordsworth
Image
Choice word and measured phrase above the reach Of ordinary men.
William Wordsworth
Image
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
Image
Come grow old with me. The best is yet to be.
William Wordsworth
Image
Or shipwrecked, kindles on the coast False fires, that others may be lost.
William Wordsworth
Image
my brain Worked with a dim and undetermined sense Of unknown modes of being o'er my thoughts There hung a darkness, call it solitude Or blank desertion.
William Wordsworth
