Words of beauty

Sometimes, greater men (and women) than I have strung together words to say things we all think. They just say it so much better.

I found this tucked away in an old copy of The Water Babies...

"I heard a thousand blended notes,
While in a grove I sate reclined;
In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts
Bring sad thoughts to the mind.

"To her fair works did Nature link
The human soul that through me ran;
And much it grieved my heart to think,
What man has made of man.". . .

Wordsworth.

And much it grieved my heart to think,
What man has made of man.
