For youthful faults ripe virtues shall atone.

Heaven lies about us in our infancy! / Shades of the prison-house begin to close / Upon the growing boy.

William Wordsworth was a pivotal English poet who, along with Samuel Taylor Coleridge, helped launch the Romantic Age in English literature.

He is celebrated for his lyrical intensity, his profound empathy, and his ability to find extraordinary beauty and meaning in the ordinary experiences of life.
