  A great writer is one who interprets life
    greatly; one who is exquisitely responsive
  to the most subtle impressions of the
    outside world.
 
epson153.jpg Ethereal minstrel! Pilgrim of the sky!
   Dost thou despise the earth where cares abound?
Or, while the wings aspire, are heart and eye
   both with thy nest upon the dewy ground?
Thy nest which thou canst drop into at will,
   those quivering wings composed, that music still!
Leave to the nightingale her shady wood;
   a privacy of glorious light is thine:
Whence thou dost pour upon the world a flood
   of harmony, with instinct more divine;
type of the wise who soar, but never roam;
   true to the kindred points of Heaven and home.

                               "To the skylark"  William Wordsworth
epson153.jpg    A sense sublime
of something far more deeply interfused,
whose dwelling is the light of setting suns;

                               "On revisiting the Wye
                                above Tintern Abbey"   William Wordsworth
epson153.jpg Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting:
The soul that rises with us, our life's star,
   hath had elsewhere it's setting
and cometh from afar.

                                "Intimations of immortality"   William Wordsworth
