4 William Wordsworth Quotes on Aging

William Wordsworth quotes on aging

9. Sweet childish days, that were as long As twenty days are now.

30. But an old age serene and bright, And lovely as a Lapland night, Shall lead thee to thy grave.

65. And beauty, for confiding youth, Those shocks of passion can prepare That kill the bloom before its time; And blanch, without the owner's crime, The most resplendent hair.

110. My eyes are dim with childish tears, My heart is idly stirred, For the same sound is in my ears Which in those days I heard. Thus fares it still in our decay: And yet the wiser mind Mourns less for what age takes away Than what it leaves behind.
