Knowing that Nature never did betray The heart that loved her; 'tis her privilege, Through all the years of this our life, to lead From joy to joy: for she can so inform The mind that is within us, so impress With quietness and beauty, and so feed With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues, Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all The dreary intercourse of daily life, Shall e'er prevail against us, or disturb Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold Is full of blessings.
— William Wordsworth Modern

More from William Wordsworth

"And 'tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes."

"I have no doubt that, in the present state of society, a Poet, by the very act of writing in metre, does in some degree separate himself from the mass of men, and from their immediate sympathy."

"The common people are not to be trusted with any species of power, least of all with that which is the most dangerous, the power of making laws."

"To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears."

"The mind of man is framed even like the breath And harmony of music."
