Quotes by William Wordsworth

English poet (1770 - 1850)

A mind forever voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.

That best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.

What though the radiance which was once so bright Be not forever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;Grief not, rather find, Strength in what remains behind, In the primal sympathy Which having been must ever be, In the soothing thoughts that spring Out of Human suffering, In the faith that looks through death In years that bring philophic mind.

She was a phantom of delight When first she gleam'd upon my sight; A lovely apparition, sent To be a moment's ornament.

To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.

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; We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings.

The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
