William Wordsworth

Image
Earth fills her lap with pleasures of her own Yearnings she hath in her own natural kind, And, even with something of a mother's mind, And no unworthy aim, The homely nurse doth all she can To make her foster child, her inmate man, Forget the glories he hath known And that imperial palace whence he came.
William Wordsworth

Yet tears to human suffering are due And mortal hopes defeated and o'erthrown Are mourned by man, and not by man alone.

Image
Plain living and high thinking are no more.
William Wordsworth
Image
Whether we be young or old,Our destiny, our being's heart and home,Is with infinitude, and only thereWith hope it is, hope that can never die,Effort and expectation, and desire,And something evermore about to be.
William Wordsworth
