Very commonplace book

Bad quotes by allegedly good writers.

In these fair vales hath many a Tree
At Wordsworth's suit been spared;
And from the builder's hand this Stone,
For some rude beauty of its own,
Was rescued by the Bard:
So let it rest; and time will come
When here the tender-hearted
May heave a gentle sigh for him,
As one of the departed.

William Wordsworth, 'In these fair vales hath many a tree'.

The Sun now rose upon the right :
Out of the sea came he,
Still hid in mist, and on the left
Went down into the sea.

Samuel Taylor-Coleridge, 'Rime of the Ancient Mariner'

The day passed much as the day before had done.
