Chains tie us down by land and sea And wishes, vain as mine, may be All that is left to comfort thee.
William Wordsworth
Image
A power is passing from the earth.
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 mind of man is a thousand times more beautiful than the earth on which he dwells.
William Wordsworth
Image
Lady of the Mere, Sole-sitting by the shores of old romance.
William Wordsworth

In truth the prison, unto which we doom Ourselves, no prison is.
William Wordsworth
Image
Thou unassuming common-place of Nature, with that homely face.
