(1757-1827) English Poet, Mystic, Painter

A truth that's told with bad intent Beats all the lies you can invent.


Exuberance is beauty.


A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.


He who desires, but acts not, breeds pestilence.


He whose face gives no light, shall never become a star.


I was angry with my friend: I told my wrath, my wrath did end. I was angry with my foe: I told it not, my wrath did grow.


If a thing loves, it is infinite.


It is easier to forgive an enemy than to forgive a friend.


No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.


The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way. Some see nature all ridicule and deformity - and some scarce see nature at all. But to the eyes of the man of imagination, nature is imagination itself.


To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand And Eternity in an hour.


What is now proved was once only imagined.
