Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

Thou has left behind Powers that will work for thee,—air, earth, and skies! There 's not a breathing of the common wind That will forget thee; thou hast great allies; Thy friends are exultations, agonies, And love, and man's unconquerable mind.

Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent dower,
We feel that we are greater than we know.

The child is father of the man
