The wisdom of the wise, and the experience of the ages may be preserved
by quotations.

William Wordsworth

"O'er my thoughts
There hung a darkness, call it solitude
Or blank desertion. No familiar shapes
Remained, no pleasant images of trees,
Of sea or sky, no colours of green fields;
But huge and mighty forms, that do not live
Like living men, moved slowly through the mind
By day, and were a trouble to my dreams."

- 'The Stolen Boat' from 'The Prelude' by William Wordsworth
