I am already kindly disposed towards you. My friendship it is not in my power to give: this is a gift which no man can make, it is not in our own power: a sound and healthy friendship is the growth of time and circumstance, it will spring up and thrive like a wildflower when these favour, and when they do not, it is in vain to look for it.
William WordsworthAnd homeless near a thousand homes I stood, And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.
William WordsworthLook for the stars, you'll say that there are none; / Look up a second time, and, one by one, / You mark them twinkling out with silvery light, / And wonder how they could elude the sight!
William WordsworthAnd the most difficult of tasks to keep Heights which the soul is competent to gain.
