Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From Wordsworth and Tennyson A Pastoral Poem If from the public way you turn your steps Up the tumultuous brook of Green-head Ghyll, You will suppose that with an upright path Your feet must struggle; in such bold ascent The pastoral mountains front you, face to face. 2. Green-head Ghyll. Near Dove Cottage, Wordsworth´s home at Grasmere. Ghyll. A short, steep, and narrow valley with a stream running through it. 5. The pastoral mountains. In Professor Knight´s Life of Wordsworth are found fragments which the poet intended for Michael and which were recovered from Dorothy Wordsworth´s manuscript book. Among these are the following lines, which as Professor Dowden suggests, are given as Wordsworth´s answer to the question, "What feeling for external nature had such a man as Michael?" The lines, which correspond to lines 62-77 of the poem, are as follows: "No doubt if you in terms direct had asked Whether beloved the mountains, true it is That with blunt repetition of your words He might have stared at you, and said that they Were frightful to behold, but had you then Discoursed with him Of his own business and the goings on Of earth and sky, then truly had you seen That in his thoughts there were obscurities, Wonder and admiration, things that wrought Not less than a religion of his heart."
