Wisdom married to immortal verse.
William Wordsworth
. . . I would stand,If the night blackened with a coming storm,Beneath some rock, listening to notes that areThe ghostly language of the ancient earth,Or make their dim abode in distant winds.Thence did I drink the visionary powerAnd deem not profitless those fleeting moodsOf shadowy exultation not for this,That they are kindred to our purer mindAnd intellectual life but that the soul,Remembering how she felt, but what she feltRemembering not, retains an obscure senseOf possible sublimity. . . .
William Wordsworth
Behold her, single in the field, Yon solitary Highland lass.
William Wordsworth
This dull product of a scoffer's pen.
