More from William Wordsworth

  1. In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts Bring sad thoughts to the mind.
  2. The eye- it cannot choose but see; we cannot bid the ear be still; our bodies feel, where'er they be, against or with our will.
  3. - A simple child, That lightly draws its breath, And feels its life in every limb, What should it know of death?
  4. Nor less I deem that there are Powers Which of themselves our minds impress; That we can feed this mind of ours In a wise passiveness.
  5. All men feel something of an honorable bigotry for the objects which have long continued to please them.
  6. Come forth into the light of things, Let Nature be your teacher.
  7. I have said that poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
  8. One impulse from a vernal wood May teach you more of man, Of moral evil and of good, Than all the sages can.
