Quote of the Day (7/17/11) (William Wordsworth Week)

My heart leaps up when I behold
A rainbow in the sky:
So was it when my life began;
So is it now I am a man;
So be it when I shall grow old,
Or let me die!
The Child is father of the Man;
I could wish my days to be
Bound each to each by natural piety.
--William Wordsworth, "My Heart Leaps Up When I Behold" (1802)
