Poetry Quote by William Wordsworth — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Habit rules the unreflecting herd.”

“One impulse from a vernal wood”

“Dreams, books, are each a world; and books, we know,”

“Sweet is the lore which nature brings;”

“Books! tis a dull and endless strife:”

“Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:”

“Every poem I write falls short in some important way. But I go on trying to write the one that won’t.”

“Honest criticism and sensible appreciation are directed not upon the poet but upon the poetry.”

“First, I thought, almost despairing,”

“You will always be the bread and the knife, not to mention the crystal goblet and—somehow—the wine.”

“Dogfish”

“A violent order is disorder; and a great disorder is an order.”
