Beschreibung | William Wordsworth (7 April 1770 – 23 April 1850) was an English Romantic poet who, with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped to launch the Romantic Age in English literature with their joint publication Lyrical Ballads (1798). Wordsworth's magnum opus is generally considered to be The Prelude, a semi-autobiographical poem of his early years that he revised and expanded a number of times. It was posthumously titled and published by his wife in the year of his death, before which it was generally known as "the poem to Coleridge". |
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.
