Our meddling intellect Misshapes the beauteous forms of things We murder to dissect
William WordsworthBabylon, Learned and wise, hath perished utterly, Nor leaves her speech one word to aid the sigh That would lament her.
William WordsworthIn hours of weariness, sensations sweet, Felt in the blood, and felt along the heart; And passing even into my purer mind, With tranquil restoration: - feelings, too, Of unremembered pleasure: such, perhaps, As have no slight or trivial influence On that best portion of a good man's life, His little, nameless, unremembered acts Of kindness and of love.
