Oh, at that time When on the perilous ridge I hung alone, With what strange utterance did the loud dry wind Blow through my ear!
"Yewdale" reprinted as Part V. of "Deucalion" took an unusual importance in his own mind, not only because it was a great success as a lecture though some Kendalians complained that there was not enough "information" in it: but because it was the first given since that Christmas at Venice, when a new insight had been granted him, as he felt, into spiritual things, and a new burden laid on him, to withstand the rash conclusions of "science falsely so called," and to preach in their place the presence of God in nature and in man.
And at night we will come through the clouds down the wild course of Rosset Ghyll and sup and sleep in the hotel hard by Dungeon Ghyll, or, perchance, having the day well in hand, we will push on by Blea Tarn and Yewdale to Coniston, or by Easedale Tarn to Grasmere, and so to the Swan at the foot of Dunmail Raise. For we must call at the Swan.
