1770-1850, British Poet
No motion has she now, no force; she neither hears nor sees; rolled around in earth's diurnal course, with rocks, and stones, and trees.
William Wordsworth – [Death and Dying]
Not Chaos, not the darkest pit of lowest Erebus, nor aught of blinder vacancy, scooped out by help of dreams –can breed such fear and awe as fall upon us often when we look into our Minds, into the Mind of Man.
William Wordsworth – [Mind]
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting. The soul that rises with us, our life's star, hath had elsewhere its setting, and comet from afar: not in entire forgetfulness, and not in utter nakedness, but trailing clouds of glory do we come from God, who is our home.
William Wordsworth – [Birth]
Rapine, avarice, expense, This is idolatry; and these we adore; Plain living and high thinking are no more.
William Wordsworth – [Idols]
She seemed a thing that could not feel the touch of earthly years.
William Wordsworth – [Nature]
Small service is true service, while it lasts.

That best portion of a good man's life; His little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
William Wordsworth – [Deeds and Good Deeds]
That blessed mood in which the burthen of the mystery, in which the heavy and the weary weight of all this unintelligible world is lightened.

The little unremembered acts of kindness and love are the best parts of a person's life.

The ocean is a mighty harmonist.
William Wordsworth – [Oceans]
The thought of our past years in me doth breed perpetual benedictions.
William Wordsworth – [Anniversaries]
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.
William Wordsworth – [World]
This city now doth, like a garment, wear the beauty of the morning; silent bare, ships, towers, domes, theatres and temples lie open unto the fields and to the sky; All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
William Wordsworth – [Cities and City Life]
Thou unassuming common-place of Nature, with that homely face.
William Wordsworth – [Commonplace]
