When a horse wants to display himself...he lifts his neck up high and flexes his poll haughtily$$$ and picks his legs up freely$$$ and keeps his tail up.
I confess that in 1901 I said to my brother Orville that man would not fly for fifty years. Two years later we ourselves made flights. This demonstration of my impotence as a prophet gave me such a shock that ever since I have distrusted myself and avoided all predictions.
Before me begging did she stand$$$ <br>Pouring out sorrows like a sea; <br>Grief after grief: on English Land <br>Such woes I knew could never be; <br>And yet a boon I gave her; for the Creature <br>Was beautiful to see; a Weed of glorious feature!
I've heard of hearts unkind$$$ kind deeds<br>With coldness still returning;<br>Alas! the gratitude of men<br>Has oftener left me mourning.
From heart-experience$$$ and in humblest sense<br>Of Modesty$$$ that he$$$ who in his youth<br>A daily wanderer among woods and fields<br>With living Nature hath been intimate$$$<br>Not only in that raw unpractised time<br>Is stirred to ecstasy$$$ as others are$$$<br>By glittering verse but further$$$ doth receive$$$<br>In measure only dealt out to himself$$$ <br>Knowledge and increase of enduring joy<br>From the great Nature that exists in works <br>Of mighty Poets.
Hence in a season of calm weather$$$ <br>Though inland far we be$$$ <br>Our souls have sight of that immortal sea which brought us hither$$$ <br>Can in a moment travel thither$$$ <br>And see the children sport upon the shore$$$ <br>And hear the mighty waters rolling evermore.
My heart leaps up when I behold<br>A rainbow in the sky:<br>So was it when my life began; <br>So is it now I am a man; <br>So be it when I shall grow old$$$ <br>Or let me die!<br>The Child is father of the Man;<br>And I could wish my days to be<br>Bound each to each by natural piety.
All that we behold is full of blessings.
Our apparitions$$$ the things you know us by$$$ are simply childish. Beneath it is all dark$$$ it is all spreading$$$ it is unfathomably deep; but now and again we rise to the surface and that is what you see us by.
