Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

Yet tears to human suffering are due; And mortal hopes defeated and o'erthrown Are mourned by man, and not by man alone.

Hence, in a season of calm weather
Though inland far we be,
Our souls have sight of that immortal sea

The reason firm, the temperate will, Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill; perfect woman, nobly planned, To warn, to comfort, and command.

Poetry is the first and last of all knowledge - it is as immortal as the heart of man. - William Wordsworth
