Quote by William Wordsworth

Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.

Wisdom is oftentimes nearer when we stoop than when we soar.

Summary

This quote suggests that wisdom is more easily found when we lower ourselves, humbly seeking knowledge, rather than when we feel elevated and superior. It implies that a willingness to be open-minded and receptive, to humble ourselves and learn from others, brings us closer to wisdom. By stooping, metaphorically meaning to lower ourselves, we become more grounded and connected to the world around us, ultimately gaining access to valuable insights and understanding.

My desire, my sincere and heartfelt desire is to rip that surprisingly sheer garment from your body, toss you onto that bed, and indeed ravish you from head to toe. I wish to make love to you until you are too exhausted to do so much as stand without support. Until you call out my name in your dreams and reach for me in your sleep. Until you can think of no one and nothing beyond the touch of my hand, the caress of my lips.
