More quotes by William Wordsworth

Image
There was a time when meadow, grove, and stream, The earth, and every common sight, To me did seem Apparelled in celestial light, The glory and the freshness of a dream.
William Wordsworth
Image
A cheerful life is what the Muses love. A soaring spirit is their prime delight.
William Wordsworth
Image
To the solid ground Of nature trusts the Mind that builds for aye.
William Wordsworth
Image
There's something in a flying horse, There's something in a huge balloon.
William Wordsworth
Image
A multitude of causes unknown to former times are now acting with a combined force to blunt the discriminating powers of the mind, and unfitting it for all voluntary exertion to reduce it to a state of almost savage torpor.
William Wordsworth
Image
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns.
William Wordsworth
Image
We murder to dissect.
William Wordsworth
Image
I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills When all at once I saw a crowd A host of golden daffodils Beside the lake beneath the trees Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
William Wordsworth
Image
Let Nature be your teacher
William Wordsworth
Image
For mightier far Than strength of nerve or sinew, or the sway Of magic potent over sun and star, Is love, though oft to agony distrest, And though his favourite be feeble woman's breast.
William Wordsworth
Image
The clouds that gather round the setting sun, Do take a sober colouring from an eye, That hath kept watch o'er man's mortality.
William Wordsworth
Image
Either still I find Some imperfection in the chosen theme, Or see of absolute accomplishment Much wanting, so much wanting, in myself, That I recoil and droop, and seek repose In listlessness from vain perplexity, Unprofitably travelling towards the grave.
William Wordsworth
Image
When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign is solitude.
William Wordsworth
Image
The education of circumstances is superior to that of tuition.
William Wordsworth
Image
Now when the primrose makes a splendid show, And lilies face the March-winds in full blow, And humbler growths as moved with one desire Put on, to welcome spring, their best attire, Poor Robin is yet flowerless but how gay With his red stalks upon this sunny day!
William Wordsworth
Image
I bounded o'er the mountains, by the sides of the deep rivers, and the lonely streams, wherever nature led.
William Wordsworth
Image
That mighty orb of song, The divine Milton.
William Wordsworth
Image
Oh for a single hour of that Dundee Who on that day the word of onset gave!
William Wordsworth
Image
He who feels contempt for any living thing hath faculties that he hath never used, and thought with him is in its infancy.
William Wordsworth
Image
Spires whose silent finger points to heaven.
William Wordsworth
