“Not in Utopia, -- subterranean fields, --Or some secreted island, Heaven knows where!But in the very world, which is the worldOf all of us, -- the place where in the endWe find our happiness, or not at all!”
William Wordsworth
“Bliss was it in that dawn to be alive,But to be young was very heaven!”
“Strongest mindsAre often those of whom the noisy worldHears least.”
“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
“We live by admiration, hope and love; and even as these are well and wisely fixed, in dignity of being we ascend”
“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.”
