There are 2 quotes matching William Wordsworth in the collection:
There’s something in a flying horse,
There’s something in a huge balloon,
But though the clouds I’ll never float
Until I have a little boat
In shape just like the crescent moon.
And now I have a little boat
In shape just like the crescent moon.
Fast through the clouds my boat can sail,
But if perchance your faith should fail,
Look up and you shall see me soon.
William Wordsworth
Peter Bell: A Tale in Verse, Prologue. Written in 1798, but not published until 1819.
She Was a Phantom of Delight
And now I see with eye serene
The very pulse of the machine;
A Being breathing thoughtful breath,
A Traveller between life and death;
The reason firm, the temperate will,
Endurance, foresight, strength, and skill;
A perfect Woman, nobly planned,
To warn, to comfort, and command;
And yet a Spirit still, and bright
With something of angelic light.
William Wordsworth
She Was a Phantom of Delight, third and final stanza, written in 1803, published in 1807. But clearly he was thinking about airplanes!
