A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable.

William Wordsworth

Milton! thou should'st be living at this hour: England hath need of thee: she is a fen Of stagnant waters.

William Wordsworth

Water, England, Needs

"London, 1802" l. 1 (1807)

Private courts, Gloomy as coffins, and unsightly lanes Thrilled by some female vendor's scream, belike The very shrillest of all London cries, May then entangle our impatient steps; Conducted through those labyrinths, unawares, To privileged regions and inviolate, Where from their airy lodges studious lawyers Look out on waters, walks, and gardens green.

William Wordsworth

Garden, Water, Labyrinth
