Beschreibung | William Wordsworth (7. April 1770 - 23. April 1850) war ein englischer Dichter der Romantik, der zusammen mit Samuel Taylor Coleridge mit ihrer gemeinsamen Veröffentlichung Lyrical Ballads (1798) zum Beginn des romantischen Zeitalters in der englischen Literatur beitrug. Wordsworths Hauptwerk wird allgemein als The Prelude angesehen, ein halbautobiografisches Gedicht über seine frühen Jahre, das er mehrfach überarbeitete und erweiterte. Es wurde posthum betitelt und von seiner Frau im Jahr seines Todes veröffentlicht, davor war es allgemein als "das Gedicht an Coleridge" bekannt. |
How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold.
Faith is a passionate intuition.
The child is father of the man.
In modern business it is not the crook who is to be feared most, it is the honest man who doesn't know what he is doing.
The best portion of a good man's life is his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and 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.
Not without hope we suffer and we mourn.
When from our better selves we have too long been parted by the hurrying world, and droop. Sick of its business, of its pleasures tired, how gracious, how benign is solitude.
The mind that is wise mourns less for what age takes away than what it leaves behind.
Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.
That best portion of a man's life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.
Life is divided into three terms - that which was, which is, and which will be. Let us learn from the past to profit by the present, and from the present, to live better in the future.
