Pàgina 204 - All things that love the sun are out of doors ; The sky rejoices in the morning's birth ; The grass is bright with rain-drops ; on the moors The hare is running races in her mirth ; And with her feet she from the plashy earth Raises a mist ; which, glittering in the sun, Runs with her all the way, wherever she doth run.
Pàgina 204 - There was a roaring in the wind all night; The rain came heavily and fell in floods; But now the sun is rising calm and bright; The birds are singing in the distant woods...
Pàgina 267 - But worthier still of note Are those fraternal Four of Borrowdale, Joined in one solemn and capacious grove; Huge trunks ! and each particular trunk a growth Of intertwisted fibres serpentine Up-coiling, and inveterately convolved ; Nor uninformed with Phantasy, and looks That threaten the profane; — a pillared shade, Yew-trees.

Pàgina 124 - No very great harm should you even fall asleep under the shadow of an oak, whilst the magpie chatters at safe distance, and the more innocent squirrel peeps down upon you from a bough of the canopy, and then, hoisting his tail, glides into the obscurity of the loftiest umbrage.
Pàgina 136 - Ash-course lay yet in view; and, side by side with Eskdale, we now saw the sister Vale of Donnerdale terminated by the Duddon Sands. But the majesty of the mountains below, and close to us, is not to be conceived. We now beheld the whole mass of Great Gavel from its base, — the Den of Wastdale at our feet — a gulf immeasurable : Grasmire and the other mountains of Crummock — Ennerdale and its mountains ; and the Sea beyond...
Pàgina 290 - ... connecting it with the larger Lake of Crummock ; and at the edge of this miniature domain, upon the roadside, stands a cluster of cottages, so small and few that, in the richer tracts of the islands, they would scarcely be complimented with the name of hamlet.
