We feel we are greater than we know

Ullswater morning - followed by afternoon soaking on Fleetwith (changed from earlier blip as it suited the day better and this lovely Wordsworth poem was on my mind too, although when I saw the boats I was tempted to post Hardy's The Convergence of the Twain).

After-Thought (from Wordsworth's Duddon Sonnets)

I thought of Thee, my partner and my guide,
As being past away.--Vain sympathies!
For, backward, Duddon! as I cast my eyes,
I see what was, and is, and will abide;
Still glides the Stream, and shall for ever glide;
The Form remains, the Function never dies;
While we, the brave, the mighty, and the wise,
We Men, who in our morn of youth defied
The elements, must vanish;--be it so!
Enough, if something from our hands have power
To live, and act, and serve the future hour;
And if, as toward the silent tomb we go,
Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent dower,
We feel that we are greater than we know.
