The Past Is Forever Present

Wordsworth wrote many poems that speak to readers of all ages and all times. Here is a wonderful excerpt from

INTIMATIONS OF IMMORTALITY FROM RECOLLECTIONS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD

 

 

 What though the radiance which was once so bright
  Be now for ever taken from my sight,
  Though nothing can bring back the hour
  Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
  We will grieve not, rather find
  Strength in what remains behind;

 

 

 

Each time I read this I want to shout "AMEN."
