I have submitted to a new control; A power is gone, which nothing can restore; A deep distress hath humanised my soul.

He murmurs near the running brooks A music sweeter than their own.
William Wordsworth
I wanderd lonely as a cloud That floats on high oer vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host, of golden daffodils Beside the lake, beneath the trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. Continuous as the stars that shine And twinkle on the Milky Way, They stretchd in never-ending line Along the margin of a bay Ten thousand saw I at a glance, Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. The waves beside them danced but they Out-did the sparkling waves in glee A poet could not but be gay, In such a jocund company I gazedand gazedbut little thought What wealth the show to me had brought For oft, when on my couch I lie In vacant or in pensive mood, They flash upon that inward eye Which is the bliss of solitude And then my heart with pleasure fills And dances with the daffodils.
William Wordsworth
More skilful in self-knowledge, even more pure, As tempted more more able to endure, As more exposed to suffering and distress.
William Wordsworth
