Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

Who, doomed to go in company with Pain, And Fear, and Bloodshed, miserable train! Turns his necessity to glorious gain.

Turning, for them who pass, the common dust Of servile opportunity to gold.

— A simple child, That lightly draws its breath, And feels its life in every limb, What should it know of death?

A youth to whom was given So much of earth—so much of heaven, And such impetuous blood. - William Wordsworth
