Image
O dearer far than light and life are dear.
William Wordsworth
Image
A soul so pitiably forlorn, If such do on this earth abide, May season apathy with scorn, May turn indifference to pride And still be not unblest- compared With him who grovels, self-debarred From all that lies within the scope Of holy faith and christian hope Or, shipwrecked, kindles on the coast False fires, that others may be lost.
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
Bright was the summer's noon when quickening steps Followed each other till a dreary moor Was crossed, a bare ridge clomb, upon whose top Standing alone, as from a rampart's edge, I overlooked the bed of Windermere, Like a vast river, stretching in the sun.
William Wordsworth
Image
Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower.

William Wordsworth
Image
We live by Admiration, Hope, and Love And, even as these are well and wisely fixed, In dignity of being we ascend.
William Wordsworth
Image
The mysteries that cups of flowers infold And all the gorgeous sights which fairies do behold.
William Wordsworth
Image
Father! - to God himself we cannot give a holier name.
William Wordsworth
Image
Minds that have nothing to confer Find little to perceive.
William Wordsworth
Image
A power is passing from the earth.
William Wordsworth
Image
The vision and the faculty divine Yet wanting the accomplishment of verse.
William Wordsworth
Image
The tears into his eyes were brought, And thanks and praises seemed to run So fast out of his heart, I thought They never would have done. -I've heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds With coldness still returning Alas! the gratitude of men Hath oftener left me mourning.
William Wordsworth
Image
As in the eye of Nature he has lived, So in the eye of Nature let him die!
William Wordsworth
Image
Bliss it was in that dawn to be alive But to be young was very heaven.
William Wordsworth
Image
Sweetest melodies.Are those that are by distance made more sweet.
