How does the Meadow flower its bloom unfold? Because the lovely little flower is free down to its root, and in that freedom bold.
Quote by -William Wordsworth

Quote by -William Wordsworth

Quote by -William Wordsworth
“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.”

That though the radiance which was once so bright be now forever taken from my sight. Though nothing can bring back the hour of splendor in the grass, glory in the flower. We will grieve not, rather find strength in what remains behind.
Quote by -William Wordsworth
“If the time should ever come when what is now called science, thus familiarised to men, shall be ready to put on, as it were, a form of flesh and blood, the Poet will lend his divine spirit to aid the transfiguration, and will welcome the Being thus produced, as a dear and genuine inmate of the house of man.”
Quote by -William Wordsworth

Quote by -William Wordsworth
“to be incapable of a feeling of poetry, in my sense of the word, is to be without love of human nature”
Quote by -William Wordsworth
“This is the way in which he (poet) did his work. He used to go out with a pencil and a tablet and note what struck him...and make a picture out of it...But Nature does not allow an inventory to be made of her charms! He should have left his pencil behind, and gone forth in a meditative spirit; and, on a later day, he should have embodied in verse not all that he had noted but what he best remembered of the scene; and he would have then presented us with its soul, and not with the mere visual aspect of it.”
