5039 William Wordsworth 1770-1850 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:5039
AUTHOR:William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
QUOTATION:The monumental pomp of age
Was with this goodly personage;
A stature undepressed in size,
Unbent, which rather seemed to rise
In open victory o’er the weight
Of seventy years, to loftier height.
