William Wordsworth Quote

Our meddling intellect
Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:—
We murder to dissect.
Enough of science and of art;
Close up these barren leaves.


'The Tables Turned' (1798)


Our meddling intellect Mis-shapes the beauteous forms of things:— We murder to dissect. Enough of science and of art; Close up these barren leaves.
