Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

The sounding cataract
Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,
Their colours and their forms, were then to me
An appetite; a feeling and a love,
That had no need of a remoter charm,
By thought supplied, nor any interest
Unborrowed from the eye.

could have laugh'd myself to scorn, to find In that decrepit Man so firm a mind.

Rest and be thankful.
