"Lines Composed A Few Miles Above the Center for Really Neat Research..."

from "Lines Composed A Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey..."

by William Wordsworth


. . . For I have learned
To look on nature, not as in the hour
Of thoughtless youth; but hearing oftentimes
The still, sad music of humanity,
Nor harsh, nor grating, though of ample power
To chasten and subdue. And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime,
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
and the blue sky, and in the mind of man,
a motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.
