William Wordsworth — "The Child is father of the Man."

"I wandered lonely as a cloud That floats on high o'er vales and hills,"

"To me the meanest flower that blows can give thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears."

"To be incapable of a feeling of poetry, in proportion to the degree in which one is so, is to be without love of human nature, and without reverence for God."

"Dust as we are, the immortal spirit grows Like harmony in music; there is a dark Inscrutable workmanship that reconciles Discordant elements, makes them cling together In one society."

"And 'tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes."
