To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
William Wordsworth
Image
The mysteries that cups of flowers infold And all the gorgeous sights which fairies do behold.
William Wordsworth
Image
Turning, for them who pass, the common dust Of servile opportunity to gold.
William Wordsworth
Image
Sweet childish days, that were as long, As twenty days are now.
William Wordsworth
Image
Not Chaos, not the darkest pit of lowest Erebus, nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out by help of dreams - can breed such fear and awe as fall upon us often when we look into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.
William Wordsworth
Image
He loves not well whose love is bold! I would not have thee come too nigh. The sun's gold would not seem pure gold Unless the sun were in the sky: To take him thence and chain him near Would make his beauty disappear. William Winter, Love's Queen. The unconquerable pang of despised love.
William Wordsworth
Image
All that we behold is full of blessings.
William Wordsworth

William Wordsworth
Image
Milton! thou should'st be living at this hour: England hath need of thee! . . . . . . Thy soul was like a star, and dwelt apart: So didst thou travel on life's common way In cheerful godliness.
William Wordsworth
Image
The human mind is capable of excitement without the application of gross and violent stimulants and he must have a very faint perception of its beauty and dignity who does not know this.
William Wordsworth
Image
One solace yet remains for us who came Into this world in days when story lacked Severe research, that in our hearts we know How, for exciting youth's heroic flame, Assent is power, belief the soul of fact.
William Wordsworth
Image
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting.
William Wordsworth
Image
Wisdom married to immortal verse.
William Wordsworth
Image
Our noisy years seem moments in the being Of the eternal Silence.
William Wordsworth
Image
I'll teach my boy the sweetest things I'll teach him how the owlet sings.
William Wordsworth
Image
What we have loved Others will love And we will teach them how.
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.
