Dorothy Wordsworth

We
had
been
advised
to
go
along
the
new
road,
which
would
have
carried
us
down
the
vale;
but
we
met
some
travellers
who
recommended
us
to
climb
the
hill,
and
go
by
the
village
of
Crawfordjohn
as
being
much
nearer.
We
had
a
long
hill,
and
after
having
reached
the
top,
steep
and
bad
roads,
so
we
continued
to
walk
for
a
considerable
way.
The
air
was
cold
and
clear--the
sky
blue.
We
walked
cheerfully
along
in
the
sunshine,
each
of
us
alone,
only
William
had
the
charge
of
the
horse
and
car,
so
he
sometimes
took
a
ride,
which
did
but
poorly
recompense
him
for
the
trouble
of
driving.
I
never
travelled
with
more
cheerful
spirits
than
this
day.
Our
road
was
along
the
side
of
a
high
moor.
I
can
always
walk
over
a
moor
with
a
light
foot;
I
seem
to
be
drawn
more
closely
to
nature
in
such
places
than
anywhere
else;
or
rather
I
feel
more
strongly
the
power
of
nature
over
me,
and
am
better
satisfied
with
myself
for
being
able
to
find
enjoyment
in
what
unfortunately
to
many
persons
is
either
dismal
or
insipid.
This
moor,
however,
was
more
than
commonly
interesting;
we
could
see
a
long
way,
and
on
every
side
of
us
were
larger
or
smaller
tracts
of
cultivated
land.
