Remembering Why I Love Words

I've been remembering why I love words. I came across an excerpt from one of my favorite poems today. The following excerpt comes from Wordsworth's "Intimations of Immortality". Enjoy!

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind;
In the primal sympathy
Which having been must ever be;
In the soothing thoughts that spring
Out of human suffering;
In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
