On 15th April 1802, William and Dorothy Wordsworth passed the strip of land at Glencoyne Bay, Ullswater, on their way back to Grasmere after staying the previous night at Eusmere in Pooley Bridge.

Dorothy wrote in her journal :

'When we were in the woods beyond Gowbarrow Park, we saw a few daffodils close to the water side. We fancied that the lake had floated the seed ashore and that the little colony had so sprung up. But as we went along there were more and more and at last under the boughs of the trees, we saw that there was a long belt of them along the shore, about the breadth of a country turnpike road.

I never saw daffodils so beautiful they grew among the mossy stones about and about them, some rested their heads upon these stones as on a pillow for weariness and the rest tossed and reeled and danced and seemed as if they verily laughed with the wind that blew upon them over the lake, they looked so gay ever dancing ever changing.

This wind blew directly over the lake to them. There was here and there a little knot and a few stragglers a few yards higher up but they were so few as not to disturb the simplicity and unity and life of that one busy highway. We rested again and again. The Bays were stormy, and we heard the waves at different distances and in the middle of the water like the sea'.

Dorothy Wordsworth, The Grasmere Journal - Thursday 15 April 1802.

Although it is not recorded, it is almost certain that this gave William the inspiration to write his most famous poem, 'Daffodils'.


Not being very educated in geography, I still don't know where that picture is located;maybe someone can tell me. This was on the site with the picture.

Wouldn't you know it, out of all the post numbers, I get 666!

[JustAmy]

Anytime you have business at a gov't office, it will take all day or several trips to get it taken care of.

No, the content, but the accent helped.

"Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart." 1 Samuel 16:7

"Welcome to the 666 hotline. How may we help you?"

I never saw "The Exorcist", and don't think I want (or need) to.

You're excused. (Did you eat C.G.'s ant and potted meat casserole?)

I think the the evil one stole my post.

Not that I know of, though it sounds too good to keep down. Thank you for sharing.

[JustAmy]

We'll give you a cross!



This should help. :)

How strange, a second ago when I looked at #728 it was blank. Now my post shows...

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Well by all means, don't then! (but please leave the room and shut the door behind you first...)

[PreviouslyA-Lurker]

Thanks Amy! You're a pal! I mean I'm a PAL. DOH!

[Hi Heels]

Yes INDEED.... BEACH TRIP!!! WOO HOO....

[NicknamedBob]

It's almost directly across the Irish Sea from Glasgow, on the west coast of central England.

It reminds me of a stretch of the Susquehanna above Breezewood, Pennsylvania. I haven't checked to see if there are daffodils there.

Here's a link to the site.

[NicknamedBob]

Oops, meant to say Dublin.

So much for my geographical knowledge.

[JustAmy]

Thanks for the info, NnB.

I looked for something that would identify the location but I didn't understand what I was looking at.

That is a lovely picture, isn't it?

Hope you're having a wonderful Wednesday.
