873 Quotes by William Wordsworth

Earth helped him with the cry of blood.

Love betters what is best

Oh, be wise, Thou! Instructed that true knowledge leads to love.

The Sea that bares her bosom to the moon; The winds that will be howling at all hours, And are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; For this, for everything, we are out of tune.
