Вильям Вордсворт цитаты страница 6

„Блаженством было дожить до рассвета, но встретить его молодым – настоящее счастье.“

„Юность? Вздымающаяся волна. Позади — ветер, впереди — скалы.“

„Над желтым наклонясь цветком,
Тобой, малюткой-мотыльком,
Я любовался и не знал,

И был ты неподвижней вод
объятых льдом морей.
Счастливым будет ли полет,
Когда внезапный ветр найдет
тебя среди ветвей?“

“The sounding cataract
Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,
Their colours and their forms, were then to me
An appetite; a feeling and a love,
That had no need of a remoter charm,
By thought supplied, nor any interest
Unborrowed from the eye.”

On the Power of Sound, st. 12 (1828).

Of Newton with his prism and silent face,

Voyaging through strange seas of thought, alone.”

“What is a Poet?…He is a man speaking to men: a man, it is true, endowed with more lively sensibility, more enthusiasm and tenderness, who has a greater knowledge of human nature, and a more comprehensive soul, than are supposed to be common among mankind; a man pleased with his own passions and volitions, and who rejoices more than other men in the spirit of life that is in him; delighting to contemplate similar volitions and passions as manifested in the goings-on of the Universe, and habitually impelled to create them where he does not find them.”
