Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

The heavy weight of many a weary day Not mine, and such as were not made for me.

Blessings be with them, and eternal praise, Who gave us nobler loves, and nobler cares!— The Poets, who on earth have made us heirs Of truth and pure delight by heavenly lays.

Sweet Mercy! to the gates of Heaven This minstrel lead, his sins forgiven; The rueful conflict, the heart riven With vain endeavour, And memory of earth's bitter leaven Effaced forever.

A cheerful life is what the Muses love, A soaring spirit is their prime delight. - William Wordsworth
