About William Wordsworth
William Wordsworth (1770 − 1850) was one of the most important British poets of all time. He believed that Nature was man's greatest teacher. 'Lucy Gray', 'The Ruined Cottage' and 'The Solitary Reaper' are some of his most famous poems.
Earth has anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty:
This City now doth, liker a garment, wear
The beauty of the morning;silent,bare,
Ships, towers, domes, theatres, and temples lie
Open unto the fields, and to the sky;
All bright and glittering in the smokeless air.
Never did sun more beautifully steep
In his first splendour, valley, rock, or hill;
Ne'er saw I, never felt, a calm so deep!
The river glideth at his own sweet will:
Dear God! the very houses seem asleep;
And all that mighty heart is lying still!
