Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.” Wordsworth on Helvellyn – Benjamin Robert Haydon. “What though the radiance that was once so bright, be now forever taken from my sight. Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears.” To me the meanest flower that blows can give Thanks to its tenderness, its joys, and its fears, “Thanks to the human heart by which we live, “I have felt a presence that disturbs me with the joy of elevated thoughts a sense sublime of something far more deeply interfused, whose dwelling is the light of setting suns, and the round ocean, and the living air, and the blue sky, and in the mind of man…” “For I have learned to look on nature, not as in the hour of thoughtless youth but hearing oftentimes the still, sad music of humanity.” Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, “When from our better selves we have too longīeen parted by the hurrying world, and droop, Would overset the brain, or break the heart.” ‘Twill make a thing endurable, which else “There is a comfort in the strength of love “With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.” Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower “What though the radiance which was once so bright “A mind forever Voyaging through strange seas of Thought, alone.” Our pastime and our happiness will grow.” Round these, with tendrils strong as flesh and blood, “Dreams, books, are each a world and books, we know,Īre a substantial world, both pure and good: The Soul that rises with us, our life’s Star,īut trailing clouds of glory do we come.” “Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting: “Come forth into the light of things, let nature be your teacher.” “Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.” “Wisdom is oft-times nearer when we stoop “The best portion of a good man’s life: his little, nameless unremembered acts of kindness and love.” Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower.” “Fill your paper with the breathings of your heart.” Let’s take a look at a collection of inspiring quotes, sayings, and wise words by Wordsworth that give us an insight into the man and his times. The central theme of his poems was a description of the feeling of a mystical connection with nature. He is the most significant creator of the first generation of English romantics and the ideologist of new movements in poetry, although he did not label his poetry as romanticism. His poetry marked the transition from classicism to romanticism. William Wordsworth was a remarkable poet.
