Child is the father of the man.
-- William Wordsworth
There is a comfort in the strength of love,
'T will make a thing endurable, which else
would overset the brain or break the heart.
--"Michael" by William Wordsworth
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 cometh 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
We live by admiration, hope and love.
--William Wordsworth
The best portion of a good man's life is his little,
nameless unremembered acts of kindness and of love.
--William Wordsworth
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.¨
--William Wordsworth
