Dorothy Wordsworth

I
am
always
glad
to
see
Staveley;
it
is
a
place
I
dearly
love
to
think
of--the
first
mountain
village
that
I
came
to
with
William
when
we
first
began
our
pilgrimage
together....
Nothing
particular
occurred
till
we
reached
Ings
chapel.
The
door
was
open,
and
we
went
in.
It
is
a
neat
little
place,
with
a
marble
floor
and
marble
communion
table,
with
a
painting
over
it
of
the
last
supper,
and
Moses
and
Aaron
on
each
side.
The
woman
told
us
that
"they
had
painted
them
as
near
as
they
could
by
the
dresses
as
they
are
described
in
the
Bible,"
and
gay
enough
they
are.
The
marble
had
been
sent
by
Richard
Bateman
from
Leghorn.
The
woman
told
us
that
a
man
had
been
at
her
house
a
few
days
before,
who
told
her
he
had
helped
to
bring
it
down
the
Red
Sea,
and
she
believed
him
gladly!...
We
...
arrived
at
Grasmere
at
about
six
o'clock
on
Wednesday
evening,
the
6th
of
October
1802....
I
cannot
describe
what
I
felt....
We
went
by
candle
light
into
the
garden,
and
were
astonished
at
the
growth
of
the
brooms,
Portugal
laurels,
etc.
etc.
etc.
The
next
day,
Thursday,
we
unpacked
the
boxes.
On
Friday,
8th,
...
Mary
and
I
walked
first
upon
the
hill-side,
and
then
in
John's
Grove,
then
in
view
of
Rydale,
the
first
walk
that
I
had
taken
with
my
sister.
Monday,
11th.--A
beautiful
day.
We
walked
to
the
Easedale
hills
to
hunt
waterfalls.
William
and
Mary
left
me
sitting
on
a
stone
on
the
solitary
mountains,
and
went
to
Easedale
tarn....
The
approach
to
the
tarn
is
very
beautiful.
We
expected
to
have
found
Coleridge
at
home,
but
he
did
not
come
till
after
dinner.
He
was
well,
but
did
not
look
so.
