Final answer:

The lines "We are none of us the same!" and "for George lost his legs..." do not appear to be written by William Wordsworth or the other poets listed—Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Seamus Heaney, or John Keats. These authors, especially Wordsworth as a Romantic, did not typically write about physical loss as directly suggested in the quote.

Step-by-step explanation:

The quotation "We are none of us the same!" followed by "for George lost his legs..." does not correspond to any known work by the authors listed in the options. None of the most well-known Romantics, including William Wordsworth with his work "The World Is Too Much with Us," wrote these lines.

It's important to note that words like these could potentially be part of a less well-known poem or a piece of modern literature that is not attributed to these classical poets. If the lines are from a specific historical period or a novel, they could be referencing the effects of war or personal tragedy, which were not uncommon themes in literature.

Considering the poets listed, they were indeed known for their emotive and often revolutionary writing. For example, William Wordsworth's poetry frequently explored the relationship between nature and the human spirit, but the provided text does not appear to be from his works. Similarly, none of the other poets mentioned—Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Seamus Heaney, and John Keats—are known for writing the provided lines.
