“Action is transitory a step, a blow, The motion of a muscle, this way or that 'Tis done, and in the after-vacancy We wonder at ourselves like men betrayed”
William Wordsworth
“Thought and theory must precede all salutary action; yet action is nobler in itself than either thought or theory”
“We live by admiration, hope and love; and even as these are well and wisely fixed, in dignity of being we ascend”
“Let simple Wordsworth chime his childish verse, / And brother Coleridge lull the babe at nurse.”
Lord Byron
“Deprivation is for me what daffodils were for Wordsworth.”
Philip Larkin
“Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,But to be young was very heaven!”
“And, when the streamWhich overflowed the soul was passed away,A consciousness remained that it had left,Deposited upon the silent shoreOf memory, images and precious thoughtsThat shall not die, and cannot be destroyed.”
