From the summit, which is indicated by a pile of large stones, eight different sheets of water are seen, viz., Windermere, Rydal, Grasmere, and Coniston Lakes, and Loughrigg, Easdale, Elterwater, and Blelham Tarns. The Solway Firth is also distinctly visible."
We were to have passed a week on our return amidst the lakes, and I protested against going back to London without one look at least. So we stopped at Kendal on Saturday, took a little carriage over to Windermere and Ambleside and passed the whole evening with the poet and Mrs. Wordsworth, at their own exquisite home on Rydal Mount.
Heath relapsed into silence for some little time, and when he spoke again it was with the manner of a man who gives all his facts accurately. He omitted no detail and he set the story of Rydal before Coryndon, plainly and clearly. Rydal had been a clerk in the Mangadone Bank, and had been in the place for some years before he went home and returned with a wife.
He found another throat, and it was then that he rose above the pack, shaking the life from his victim as a terrier would have shaken a rat. For the first time the Eskimos saw him, and out of their superstitious souls strange cries found utterance as they sprang back and shrieked out to Rydal that it was a devil and not a beast that had waited for them in the trail. Rydal threw up his rifle.
You were to go with the six-dog team and I with the five, and out on the barrens we were to become separated, you to go on and be killed when you we're a proper distance away, and I to be brought back to Rydal. Do you understand, Peter dear? Isn't it splendid that we should have forced on us like this such wonderful material for a story!" She was gloriously unafraid now.
As yet she had only seen it through a veil, darkly. Was this her George this ghost, grey-haired, worn out, on the brink of the unknown? The old passionate pressure of the mouth gone for ever! Her young husband her young lover she saw him far back in the past, on Rydal lake, the dripping oars in his hand. This was a spirit which touched her a spiritual love which shone upon her.
Wordsworth is a philosophical and Christian poet, with depths in his soul to which poor Byron could never reach. Do be candid. Nay, I need not say so, because you always are, as I am, Your ever affectionate ELIZABETH B. BARRETT. Two slips of the pen have been corrected between brackets. 'Rydal Mount: Oct. 26, '42. 'Dear Miss Barrett, Through our common friend Mr.
It was day for they spoke in terms of day and night when Rydal, half drunk, had dragged her into his cabin, and she had fought him until her hair was down about her in tangled confusion and she had told Peter that it was the wind. After that, instead of evading him, she had played Rydal with her wits, while praying to God for help. It was impossible to tell Peter.
He paused and looked at Coryndon, longing to put a question to him, but not wishing to break their agreement as to silence. "Tell me about Rydal," said Coryndon in the voice of a man who shifts a conversation adroitly. "I don't remember your having mentioned the case." Hartley had not much to tell.
Rydal Water, though nothing can make a lake of it, looked prettier and less diminutive than at the first view; and, in fact, I find that it is impossible to know accurately how any prospect or other thing looks, until after at least a second view, which always essentially corrects the first.
