Journals of Dorothy Wordsworth, Vol. 1 (of 2)

Dorothy Wordsworth
265
Came
to
a
bark
hut
by
the
shores,
and
sate
for
some
time
under
the
shelter
of
it.
While
we
were
here
a
poor
woman
with
a
little
child
by
her
side
begged
a
penny
of
me,
and
asked
where
she
could
"find
quarters
in
the
village."
She
was
a
travelling
beggar,
a
native
of
Scotland,
had
often
"heard
of
that
water,"
but
was
never
there
before.
This
woman's
appearance,
while
the
wind
was
rustling
about
us,
and
the
waves
breaking
at
our
feet,
was
very
melancholy:
the
waters
looked
wide,
the
hills
many,
and
dark,
and
far
off--no
house
but
at
Luss.
I
thought
what
a
dreary
waste
must
this
lake
be
to
such
poor
creatures,
struggling
with
fatigue
and
poverty
and
unknown
ways!
