873 Quotes by William Wordsworth

That mighty orb of song, The divine Milton.

I've watched you now a full half-hour; Self-poised upon that yellow flower And, little Butterfly! Indeed I know not if you sleep or feed. How motionless! - not frozen seas More motionless! and then What joy awaits you, when the breeze Hath found you out among the trees, And calls you forth again!

Love, faithful love, recalled thee to my mind--But how could I forget thee?

My heart leaps up when I behold A rainbow in the sky.

Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;And all that mighty heart is lying still!

The holy time is quiet as a nun Breathless with adoration.

For all things are less dreadful than they seem.

We have within ourselves Enough to fill the present day with joy, And overspread the future years with hope.

Nuns fret not at their convent's narrow room;And hermits are contented with their cells.
