A Character Comments
I marvel how Nature could ever find space
For so many strange contrasts in one human face:
There's thought and no thought, and there's paleness and bloom

The character or nature so beautifully etched by the king of nature poems. Hats off to William Wordsworth. Top stars for this marvellous poem
Strange contrasts in a human face. Both weakness and strength. Pleasure and gloom
It is a gem among Wordsworth's poem. How did I miss it.......so beautiful!
Marvelously worded, mine too, Ramesh! Classic Poem Of The Day, Congrats! WOW!
A great poem out of a long keen observation on characters....beautiful
There's weakness, and strength both redundant and vain; Such strength as, if ever affliction and pain Could pierce through a temper that's soft to disease, Would be rational peace- a philosopher's ease. rational and philosopher's ease and peace. great poem. tony
Weakness! ! Strange contrasts; Human beings on earth. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Great write about different human faces. Loved it very much. There's indifference, alike when he fails or succeeds, And attention full ten times as much as there needs; Pride where there's no envy, there's so much of joy; And mildness, and spirit both forward and coy. ... is awesome. Thanks for sharing.
This picture from nature may seem to depart, Yet the Man would at once run away with your heart; And I for five centuries right gladly would be Such an odd such a kind happy creature as he.....outstanding conceptualization. Most beautiful poem by William Wordsworth is amazingly shared.
" The picture from nature may seem to depart Yet the man would at once run away with your heart" The flight of imagery as also the style of narration are simply superb.
There's freedom, and sometimes a diffident stare Of shame scarcely seeming to know that she's there, There's virtue, the title it surely may claim, Yet wants heaven knows what to be worthy the name. great great and great 10+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
