William Wordsworth: Zitate auf Englisch
Quelle: Ode: Intimations Of Immortality From Recollections Of Early Childhood
“And homeless near a thousand homes I stood,
And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.”
Guilt and Sorrow, st. 41 (1791-1794) Section XLI.
Kontext: And oft I thought (my fancy was-so strong)
That I, at last, a resting-place had found:
'Here: will I dwell,' said I,' my whole life long,
Roaming the illimitable waters round;
Here will I live, of all but heaven disowned.
And end my days upon the peaceful flood—
To break my dream the vessel reached its bound;
And homeless near a thousand homes I stood,
And near a thousand tables pined and wanted food.
“Faith is a passionate intuition.”
Quelle: Garbled version of c. l 1295 of Despondency Corrected (Vol. 5 of W's Poetical Works on Gurenberg)
“Pictures deface walls more often than they decorate them.”
This is only a slightly misquoted version of "Pictures deface walls oftener than they decorate them", written by Frank Lloyd Wright in the magazine Architectural Record in March 1908.
