His remains were not discovered till three months +afterwards, when they were found guarded by his dog. Sir W.

Collingwood. - - - -[Illustration: BRANTWOOD, CONISTON LAKE.] - - - - -ULLSWATER - -On April 15th, 1802, Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy visited this -lake, and, near Gowbarrow Park, saw the daffodils which he has -described in the following poem, and she in her diary. - - - I wandered lonely as a cloud - That floats on high o'er vales and hills, - When all at once I saw a crowd, - A host of golden daffodils; - Beside the lake, beneath the trees, - Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. - - Continuous as the stars that shine - And twinkle on the milky way, - They stretched in never-ending line - Along the margin of the bay: - Ten thousand saw I at a glance, - Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. - - The waves beside them danced, but they - Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: - A poet could not but be gay, - In such a jocund company: - I gazed--and gazed--but little thought - What wealth the show to me had brought: - - For oft, when on my couch I lie - In vacant or in pensive mood, - They flash upon that inward eye - Which is the bliss of solitude; - And then my heart with pleasure fills, - And dances with the daffodils. - - - -[Illustration: ULLSWATER FROM GOWBARROW PARK.] - - - - -HELVELLYN - -In the spring of 1805 a gentleman perished by losing his way on -Helvellyn. His remains were not discovered till three months -afterwards, when they were found guarded by his dog. Sir W. Scott -visited the Lake District later on in the same year and composed the -following poem:-- - - - I climb'd the dark brow of mighty Helvellyn, - Lakes and mountains beneath me gleam'd misty and wide; - All was still, save by fits, when the eagle was yelling, - And starting around me the echoes replied. - On the right, Striden-edge round the Red-tarn was bending, - And Catchedicam its left verge was defending, - One huge nameless rock in the front was ascending, - When I mark'd the sad spot where the wanderer had died. - - Dark green was that spot 'mid the brown mountain-heather, - Where the Pilgrim of Nature lay stretch'd in decay, - Like the corpse of an outcast abandon'd to weather, - Till the mountain winds wasted the tenantless clay. - Not yet quite deserted, though lonely extended, - For, faithful in death, his mute favourite attended, - The much-loved remains of her master defended, - And chased the hill-fox and the raven away. - - _Helvellyn_, - SCOTT. - - - -[Illustration: THIRLMERE AND HELVELLYN.] - - - - -THE MOUNTAIN GLORY - -They seem to have been built for the human race, as at once their -schools and cathedrals; full of treasures of illuminated manuscript for -the scholar, kindly in simple lessons to the worker, quiet in pale -cloisters for the thinker, glorious in holiness for the worshipper. - -_Modern Painters, Vol. iv.,_ - RUSKIN. - - - O rock and torrent, lake and hill, - Halls of a home austerely still, - Remote and solemn view! - O valley, where the wanderer sees - Beyond the towering arch of trees - Helvellyn and the blue! - - Great Nature! on our love was shed - From thine abiding goodlihead - Majestic fostering; - We wondered, half afraid to own - In hardly-conscious hearts upgrown - So infinite a thing. - - Within, without, whate'er hath been, - In cosmic deeps the immortal scene - Is mirrored, and shall last:-- - Live the long looks, the woodland ways, - That twilight of enchanted days,-- - The imperishable Past. - - FREDERICK W. MYERS - - - -[Illustration: RAVEN CRAG, THIRLMERE.] - - - - -DERWENTWATER - - Once more, O Derwent! to thy awful shores - I come, insatiate of the accustomed sight, - And, listening as the eternal torrent roars, - Drink in with eye and ear a fresh delight; - For I have wandered far by land and sea, - In all my wanderings still remembering thee. - - SOUTHEY. - - - -FRIAR'S CRAG - -The first thing which I remember, as an event in life, was being taken -by my nurse to the brow of Friar's Crag on Derwentwater; the intense -joy mingled with awe, that I had in looking through the hollows in the -mossy roots, over the crag, into the dark lake, has associated itself -more or less with all twining roots of trees ever since. - - _Modern Painters, Volume iii.,_ - RUSKIN. - - - -[Illustration: DERWENTWATER FROM CASTLE HEAD.

T. Coleridge from 1800 to -1804 and for a short time in 1806, as well as of R. Southey from Sept. -1803 to his death in March 1843, commands a view of both these lakes. -Coleridge in a letter to Southey from Greta Hall, dated 13th April -1801, describes the situation of the house as follows:-- - - -Behind the house is an orchard, and a small wood on a steep slope, at -the foot of which flows the river Greta, which winds round and catches -the evening lights in the front of the house. In front we have a -giant's camp--an encamped army of tent-like mountains, which, by an -inverted arch, gives a view of another vale. On our right the lovely -vale and the wedge-shaped lake of Bassenthwaite; and on our left -Derwentwater and Lodore in view, and the fantastic mountains of -Borrowdale. Behind us the massy Skiddaw, smooth, green, high, with two -chasms and a tent-like ridge in the larger.

SOUTHEY. - - - -[Illustration: DERWENTWATER AND BASSENTHWAITE LAKE.] - - - - - WASTWATER - - There is a lake hid far among the hills, - That raves around the throne of solitude, - Not fed by gentle streams, or playful rills, - But headlong cataract and rushing flood. - There gleam no lovely hues of hanging wood, - No spot of sunshine lights her sullen side; - For horror shaped the wild in wrathful mood, - And o'er the tempest heaved the mountains' pride. - - Written, on the banks of Wastwater during a storm, - by CHRISTOPHER NORTH (Professor Wilson). - - - - SCAWFELL - - I stood upon the mountain, whose vast brow - Looks down his four concentrate vales below; - Here Esk smiles coyly thro' his woody glade; - There Wastdale's chaos flings its length of shade; - Next in bright contrast with that gloomy vale, - The life and loveliness of Borrowdale; - And last, that wild and deep and swampy dell, - Where Langdale's summits frown upon Bowfell. - - _Storm on Scawfell_, - T.

When Wordsworth left the cottage for two months in -1802 on the occasion of his honeymoon he wrote "A Farewell," which -begins:-- - - - "Farewell, thou little nook of mountain ground, - Thou rocky corner in the lowest stair - Of that magnificent temple which doth bound - One side of our whole vale with grandeur rare; - Sweet garden-orchard, eminently fair, - The lovliest spot that man hath ever found, - Farewell!--we leave thee to Heaven's peaceful care, - Thee, and the Cottage which thou dost surround. - - - -De Quincey also lived at Dove Cottage from 1809-1816. He has described -it as follows:-- - -Let the cottage be a real cottage, in fact (for I must abide by the -actual scene), a white cottage, embowered with flowering shrubs, so -chosen as to unfold a succession of flowers upon the walls, and -clustering round the windows through all months of spring, summer, and -autumn--beginning, in fact, with May roses, and ending with jasmine. - - - -[Illustration: DOVE COTTAGE, GRASMERE] - - - - -GRASMERE - -There are many descriptions in Dorothy Wordsworth's journal of Grasmere -and Rydal Waters of which the following extracts are typical:-- - - -SATURDAY, 26th (December 1801).... - -We walked to Rydale. Grasmere Lake a beautiful image of stillness, -clear as glass, reflecting all things. The wind was up, and the waters -sounding. The lake of a rich purple, the fields a soft yellow, the -island yellowish-green, the copses red-brown, the mountains purple, the -church and buildings how quiet they were! - -Sunday, 31st (January 1802).... We walked round the two lakes. -Grasmere was very soft, and Rydale was extremely beautiful from the -western side. Nab Scar was just topped by a cloud which, cutting it -off as high as it could be cut off, made the mountain look uncommonly -lofty. We sate down a long time with different plans. I always love -to walk that way, because it is the way I first came to Rydale and -Grasmere, and because our dear Coleridge did also. When I came with -Wm., 6 and 1/2 years ago, it was just at sunset. There was a rich yellow -light on the waters, and the islands were reflected there. To-day it -was grave and soft but not perfectly calm. - - - -[Illustration: GRASMERE--EVENING SUN.] - - - - -GRASMERE CHURCH - -In the churchyard are the graves of Wordsworth, his wife, son, -daughter, and two children who died in infancy, as well as of -his sister Dorothy. - - - The old rude church, with bare, bald tower, is here; - Beneath its shadow high-born Rotha flows; - Rotha, remembering well who slumbers near, - And with cool murmur lulling his repose. - - Rotha, remembering well who slumbers near. - His hills, his lakes, his streams are with him yet. - Surely the heart that reads her own heart clear - Nature forgets not soon: 'tis we forget. - - _Wordsworth's Grave_, - WILLIAM WATSON. - - - - Keep fresh the grass upon his grave, - O Rotha, with thy living wave, - Sing him thy best! for few or none - Hear thy voice right, now he is gone. - - _Memorial Verses_, - MATTHEW ARNOLD. - - - -[Illustration: GRASMERE CHURCH.] - - - - - A LAKELAND WALK - - A gate swings to! our tide hath flow'd - Already from the silent road. - The valley-pastures, one by one, - Are threaded, quiet in the sun; - And now beyond the rude stone bridge - Slopes gracious up the western ridge. - Its woody border, and the last - Of its dark upland farms is past-- - Cool farms, with open-lying stores, - Under their burnish'd sycamores; - All past! and through the trees we glide, - Emerging on the green hill-side. - There climbing hangs, a far-seen sign, - Our wavering, many-colour'd line; - There winds, upstreaming slowly still - Over the summit of the hill - And now, in front, behold outspread - Those upper regions we must tread! - Mid hollows, and clear heathy swells, - The cheerful silence of the fells. - Some two hours' march with serious air, - Through the deep noontide heats we fare; - The red-grouse, springing at our sound, - Skims, now and then, the shining ground; - No life, save his and ours, intrudes - Upon these breathless solitudes. - - _Resignation_, - MATTHEW ARNOLD. - - - -[Illustration: STEPPING STONES, FAR EASEDALE, GRASMERE.] - - - - -DUNGEON GHYLL FORCE - -This spot is the scene of the lamb's rescue described by -Wordsworth in the "Idle Shepherd-boys." - - - It was a spot which you may see - If ever you to Langdale go; - Into a chasm a mighty block - Hath fallen, and made a bridge of rock: - The gulf is deep below; - And, in a basin black and small, - Receives a lofty waterfall. - - With staff in hand across the cleft - The challenger pursued his march; - And now, all eyes and feet, hath gained - The middle of the arch. - When list! he hears a piteous moan-- - Again!--his heart within him dies-- - His pulse is stopped, his breath is lost, - He totters, pallid as a ghost, - And, looking down, espies - A lamb, that in the pool is pent - Within that black and frightful rent. - - * * * * * - - When he had learnt what thing it was, - That sent this rueful cry; I ween - The boy recovered heart, and told - The sight which he had seen. - - * * * * * - - And there the helpless lamb he found - By those huge rocks encompassed round. - - - -[Illustration: DUNGEON GHYLL FORCE.] - - - - -MOUNTAIN TARNS - - There is a power to bless - In hill-side loneliness, - In tarns and dreary places, - A virtue in the brook, - A freshness in the look - Of mountain's joyless faces. - - * * * * * - - And so when life is dull, - Or when my heart is full - Because coy dreams have frowned, - I wander up the rills - To stones and tarns and hills,-- - I go there to be crowned. - - F. W. FABER. - - - - Ye mountains and ye lakes, - And sounding cataracts, ye mists and winds - That dwell among the hills where I was born, - If in my youth I have been pure in heart, - If, mingling with the world I am content - With my own modest pleasures, and have lived - With God and Nature communing, removed - From little enmities and low desires-- - The gift is yours. - - _The Prelude_, - WORDSWORTH. - - - -[Illustration: BLEA TARN AND LANGDALE PIKES.] - - - - -BRANTWOOD - -Brantwood was the home of John Ruskin during the latter -years of his life. Mr W. G. Collingwood in his life of Ruskin -has described the journey to Brantwood, as it was in Ruskin's -time, as follows:-- - - -After changing and changing trains, and -stopping at many a roadside station, at -last you see suddenly, over the wild -undulating country, the Coniston Old Man--maen, -stone: a survival of Celtic Cumbria--and its -crags, abrupt on the left, and the lake, long and -narrow, on the right. Across the water, tiny in -the distance and quite alone amongst forests and -moors, there is Brantwood; and beyond it -everything seems uncultivated, uninhabited, except for -one grey farmhouse high on the fell, where gaps -in the ragged larches show how bleak and -storm-swept a spot it is.... You drive up and down a -narrow, hilly lane, catching peeps of mountains -and sunset through thick, overhanging trees; you -turn sharp up through a gate under dark firs -and larches; and the carriage stops in what -seems in the twilight a sort of court--a gravelled -space, one side formed by a rough stone wall -crowned with laurels and almost precipitous -coppice, the brant (or steep) wood above, and the -rest is Brantwood with a capital B. - - Chapter vi. Vol. ii. - _The Life and Work of John Ruskin_. - W. G. Collingwood. - - - -[Illustration: BRANTWOOD, CONISTON LAKE.] - - - - -ULLSWATER - -On April 15th, 1802, Wordsworth and his sister Dorothy visited this -lake, and, near Gowbarrow Park, saw the daffodils which he has -described in the following poem, and she in her diary. - - - I wandered lonely as a cloud - That floats on high o'er vales and hills, - When all at once I saw a crowd, - A host of golden daffodils; - Beside the lake, beneath the trees, - Fluttering and dancing in the breeze. - - Continuous as the stars that shine - And twinkle on the milky way, - They stretched in never-ending line - Along the margin of the bay: - Ten thousand saw I at a glance, - Tossing their heads in sprightly dance. - - The waves beside them danced, but they - Out-did the sparkling waves in glee: - A poet could not but be gay, - In such a jocund company: - I gazed--and gazed--but little thought - What wealth the show to me had brought: - - For oft, when on my couch I lie - In vacant or in pensive mood, - They flash upon that inward eye - Which is the bliss of solitude; - And then my heart with pleasure fills, - And dances with the daffodils. - - - -[Illustration: ULLSWATER FROM GOWBARROW PARK.] - - - - -HELVELLYN - -In the spring of 1805 a gentleman perished by losing his way on -Helvellyn. His remains were not discovered till three months -afterwards, when they were found guarded by his dog. Sir W. Scott -visited the Lake District later on in the same year and composed the -following poem:-- - - - I climb'd the dark brow of mighty Helvellyn, - Lakes and mountains beneath me gleam'd misty and wide; - All was still, save by fits, when the eagle was yelling, - And starting around me the echoes replied. - On the right, Striden-edge round the Red-tarn was bending, - And Catchedicam its left verge was defending, - One huge nameless rock in the front was ascending, - When I mark'd the sad spot where the wanderer had died. - - Dark green was that spot 'mid the brown mountain-heather, - Where the Pilgrim of Nature lay stretch'd in decay, - Like the corpse of an outcast abandon'd to weather, - Till the mountain winds wasted the tenantless clay. - Not yet quite deserted, though lonely extended, - For, faithful in death, his mute favourite attended, - The much-loved remains of her master defended, - And chased the hill-fox and the raven away. - - _Helvellyn_, - SCOTT. - - - -[Illustration: THIRLMERE AND HELVELLYN.] - - - - -THE MOUNTAIN GLORY - -They seem to have been built for the human race, as at once their -schools and cathedrals; full of treasures of illuminated manuscript for -the scholar, kindly in simple lessons to the worker, quiet in pale -cloisters for the thinker, glorious in holiness for the worshipper. - -_Modern Painters, Vol. iv.,_ - RUSKIN. - - - O rock and torrent, lake and hill, - Halls of a home austerely still, - Remote and solemn view! - O valley, where the wanderer sees - Beyond the towering arch of trees - Helvellyn and the blue! - - Great Nature! on our love was shed - From thine abiding goodlihead - Majestic fostering; - We wondered, half afraid to own - In hardly-conscious hearts upgrown - So infinite a thing. - - Within, without, whate'er hath been, - In cosmic deeps the immortal scene - Is mirrored, and shall last:-- - Live the long looks, the woodland ways, - That twilight of enchanted days,-- - The imperishable Past. - - FREDERICK W. MYERS - - - -[Illustration: RAVEN CRAG, THIRLMERE.] - - - - -DERWENTWATER - - Once more, O Derwent! to thy awful shores - I come, insatiate of the accustomed sight, - And, listening as the eternal torrent roars, - Drink in with eye and ear a fresh delight; - For I have wandered far by land and sea, - In all my wanderings still remembering thee. - - SOUTHEY. - - - -FRIAR'S CRAG - -The first thing which I remember, as an event in life, was being taken -by my nurse to the brow of Friar's Crag on Derwentwater; the intense -joy mingled with awe, that I had in looking through the hollows in the -mossy roots, over the crag, into the dark lake, has associated itself -more or less with all twining roots of trees ever since. - - _Modern Painters, Volume iii.,_ - RUSKIN. - - - -[Illustration: DERWENTWATER FROM CASTLE HEAD. This view is taken -looking up Borrowdale, with Lodore in the centre of the picture. -Friar's Crag is just outside the view to the right of the foreground.] - - - - -THE FALLS OF LODORE - -DESCRIBED IN RHYMES FOR THE NURSERY. - - How does the water - Come down at Lodore? - My little boy ask'd me - Thus, once on a time; - And moreover he task'd me - To tell him in rhyme. - - * * * * * - - Retreating and beating and meeting and sheeting, - Delaying and straying and playing and spraying, - Recoiling, turmoiling and toiling and boiling, - And gleaming and streaming and steaming and beaming, - And rushing and flushing and brushing and gushing, - And flapping and rapping and clapping and slapping, - And curling and whirling and purling and twirling, - And thumping and plumping and bumping and jumping, - And dashing and flashing and splashing and clashing; - And so never ending, but always descending, - Sounds and motions for ever and ever are blending, - All at once and all o'er, with a mighty uproar, - And this way the water comes down at Lodore. - - SOUTHEY. - - - -[Illustration: LODORE AND DERWENTWATER.] - - - - -DERWENTWATER AND BASSENTHWAITE - -Greta Hall, which was the residence of S. T. Coleridge from 1800 to -1804 and for a short time in 1806, as well as of R. Southey from Sept. -1803 to his death in March 1843, commands a view of both these lakes. -Coleridge in a letter to Southey from Greta Hall, dated 13th April -1801, describes the situation of the house as follows:-- - - -Behind the house is an orchard, and a small wood on a steep slope, at -the foot of which flows the river Greta, which winds round and catches -the evening lights in the front of the house. In front we have a -giant's camp--an encamped army of tent-like mountains, which, by an -inverted arch, gives a view of another vale. On our right the lovely -vale and the wedge-shaped lake of Bassenthwaite; and on our left -Derwentwater and Lodore in view, and the fantastic mountains of -Borrowdale.
