A sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,

And the blue sky, and in the mind of man

All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.
Lines completed a few miles above Tintern Abbey
Never to have lived is best, ancient writers say.
Never to have drawn the breath of life,
never to have looked into the eye of day;
The second best's a gay goodnight and quickly turn away.
Never to have drawn the breath of life,
never to have looked into the eye of day;
The second best's a gay goodnight and quickly turn away.
