Additional quotes by William Wordsworth

Great God! I'd rather be a Pagan....

I travelled among unknown men, In lands beyond the sea; Nor, England! did I know till then What love I bore to thee.

From Stirling Castle we had seen The mazy Forth unravelled; Had trod the banks of Clyde and Tay, And with the Tweed had travelled; And when we came to Clovenford, Then said "my winsome marrow," "Whate'er betide, we'll turn aside, And see the braes of Yarrow."
