Quotes by William Wordsworth
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.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away; than what it leaves behind.
The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours.
To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.
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 in solitude.
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
