William Wordsworth
Image
As in the eye of Nature he has lived, So in the eye of Nature let him die!
William Wordsworth
Image
We live by admiration, hope and love.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Image
Two voices are there one is of the sea, One of the mountains: each a mighty Voice.
William Wordsworth
Image
Of friends, however humble, scorn not one.
William Wordsworth

A great poet ought to a certain degree to rectify men's feelings... to render their feelings more sane, pure and permanent, in short, more consonant to Nature.
William Wordsworth
Image
Spade! Thou art a tool of honor in my hands. I press thee, through a yielding soil, with pride.
William Wordsworth
Image
The oldest man he seemed that ever wore grey hairs.
William Wordsworth
Image
Laying out grounds... may be considered as a liberal art, in some sort like poetry and painting.... it is to assist Nature in moving the affections... the affections of those who have the deepest perception of the beauty of Nature.
William Wordsworth
Image
There is One great society alone on earth: The noble living and the noble dead.
William Wordsworth
