More quotes by William Wordsworth
For oft, when on my couch I lie in vacant or in pensive mood they flash upon that inward eye which is the bliss of solitude
William Wordsworth
With battlements that on their restless fronts Bore stars.
William Wordsworth
One of those heavenly days that cannot die.
William Wordsworth
Rapt into still communion that transcends The imperfect offices of prayer and praise, His mind was a thanksgiving to the power That made him it was blessedness and love!
William Wordsworth
The child shall become father to the man.
William Wordsworth
Long as there's a sun that sets, Primroses will have their glory Long as there are violets, They will have a place in story: There's a flower that shall be mine, 'Tis the little Celandine.
William Wordsworth
Come grow old with me. The best is yet to be.
William Wordsworth
It is a beauteous evening, calm and free, The holy time is quiet as a nun Breathless with adoration the broad sun Is sinking down in its tranquillity The gentleness of heaven broods o'er the sea: Listen! the mighty being is awake, And doth with his eternal motion make A sound like thundereverlastingly.
William Wordsworth
A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.
William Wordsworth
Wrongs unredressed, or insults unavenged.
William Wordsworth
But who would force the soul tilts with a straw Against a champion cased in adamant
William Wordsworth
This solitary Tree! a living thing Produced too slowly ever to decay Of form and aspect too magnificent To be destroyed.
William Wordsworth
One in whom persuasion and belief Had ripened into faith, and faith become A passionate intuition.
William Wordsworth
The child is the father of man.
William Wordsworth
Alas! how little can a moment show Of an eye where feeling plays In ten thousand dewy rays: A face o'er which a thousand shadows go!
William Wordsworth
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
I'll teach my boy the sweetest things I'll teach him how the owlet sings.
William Wordsworth
We live by Admiration, Hope, and Love And, even as these are well and wisely fixed, In dignity of being we ascend.
William Wordsworth
I thought of Chatterton, the marvellous boy, The sleepless soul that perished in his pride Of him who walked in glory and in joy, Following his plough, along the mountain-side. By our own spirits we are deified We Poets in our youth begin in gladness, But thereof come in the end despondency and madness.
William Wordsworth
There is One great society alone on earth: The noble living and the noble dead.
William Wordsworth
