Dorothy Wordsworth

After
we
had
landed
we
walked
along
the
road
to
the
uppermost
of
the
huts,
where
Coleridge
was
standing.
From
the
door
of
this
hut
we
saw
Benvenue
opposite
to
us--a
high
mountain,
but
clouds
concealed
its
top;
its
side,
rising
directly
from
the
lake,
is
covered
with
birch-trees
to
a
great
height,
and
seamed
with
innumerable
channels
of
torrents;
but
now
there
was
no
water
in
them,
nothing
to
break
in
upon
the
stillness
and
repose
of
the
scene;
nor
do
I
recollect
hearing
the
sound
of
water
from
any
side,
the
wind
being
fallen
and
the
lake
perfectly
still;
the
place
was
all
eye,
and
completely
satisfied
the
sense
and
the
heart.
Above
and
below
us,
to
the
right
and
to
the
left,
were
rocks,
knolls,
and
hills,
which,
wherever
anything
could
grow--and
that
was
everywhere
between
the
rocks--were
covered
with
trees
and
heather;
the
trees
did
not
in
any
place
grow
so
thick
as
an
ordinary
wood;
yet
I
think
there
was
never
a
bare
space
of
twenty
yards:
it
was
more
like
a
natural
forest
where
the
trees
grow
in
groups
or
singly,
not
hiding
the
surface
of
the
ground,
which,
instead
of
being
green
and
mossy,
was
of
the
richest
purple.
