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.
