It was Westmoreland in its remoter, gentler aspect Westmoreland far away from the dust of coaches and hotels an untouched pastoral land, enwrought with a charm and sweetness none can know but those who love and linger.

I have formerly travelled among the Westmoreland fells my highest Alps, but they are objects too mighty for the grasp of my dreaming recognition; and I have again and again awoke with ineffectual struggles of the inner eye, to make out a shape in any way whatever, of Helvellyn.
