Lyrical Ballads Quotes

“Where he has no pleasure he has no knowledge.”
― William Wordsworth, Preface to the Lyrical Ballads

Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind..."
from "Ode: Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood”
― William Wordsworth, Ode : Intimations of immortality from recollections of early childhood, by William Wordsworth. 1884 [Leather Bound]
