Quotes by William Wordsworth
Posted by Penelope under Sayings by Author
“Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher. ”
“Golf is a day spent in a round of strenuous idleness. ”
“Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. ”
“In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts bring sad thoughts to the mind. ”
“The best portion of a good man’s life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love”
“Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them. ”
A great poet William Wordsworth has to say his on poetry, “Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility”
“A host of golden daffodils; Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. ”
“From the body of one guilty deed a thousand ghostly fears and haunting thoughts proceed. ”
“My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky.”
And this is something I like:
“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!” - William Wordsworth!
