William Wordsworth
-
Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.
-
Suffering is permanent, obscure and dark, And shares the nature of infinity.
-
The world is too much with us late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours.
-
Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.
-
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.
