“Nature never did betray 
The heart that loved her: ’tis her privilege, 
Through all the years of this our life, to lead 
From joy to joy: for she can so inform 
The mind that is within us, so impress 
With quietness and beauty, and so feed 
With lofty thoughts, that neither evil tongues, 
Bash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, 
Nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all 
The dreary intercourse of daily life, 
Shall e’er prevail against us, or disturb 
Our cheerful faith that all which we hehold 
Is full of blessings. Therefore let the moon 
Shine on thee in thy solitary walk, 
And let the misty mountain winds be free 
To blow against thee ; and in after years, 
If solitude, or fear, or pain, or grief, 
Should be thy portion, with what healing thoughts 
Of tender joy wilt thou remember me, 
And these my exhortations! ” 
— Wordsworth.
