My Friends! restrain those busy cares that would allay my pain; Oh! Leave me to myself, nor let me feel…” quote by William Wordsworth

““Now, in this blank of things, a harmony, Home-felt, and home-created,comes to heal That grief for which the senses still supply Fresh food; for only then, when memory Is hushed, am I at rest. My Friends! restrain those busy cares that would allay my pain; Oh! Leave me to myself, nor let me feel The officious touch that makes me droop again.””
