Would you like to be transported to a time when life was simple, loving was easy, and believing was as natural as breathing? Returned to a time when the world looked safe and kind? A time when childlike imagination was encouraged and nurtured in the mind and heart of every man, woman and child?
An invitation to breathtaking landscapes and literary history can be found in Wordsworth's Lake District. As Whitemoss describes this enchanting area, it is easy to see how this glorious beauty can inspire such poetic phrases as “Vainly Morning spreads the lure, Of a sky serene and pure;“
That is indeed the fate of the reader. You will be lured by the pictures of a sky serene and pure. You will wish to “wander lonely as a cloud that floats o’er vales and hills” and discover “a host of lovely daffodils.” No doubt you will find yourself in a pensive mood, daydreaming of a place with quiet, graceful rolling hills, tranquil waters and peaceful, gentle breezes where a day passes without the world’s interruption or the chaos of a busy schedule.
The villages of Grasmere and Rydal beckon you to journey in the past where you can sleep in the surroundings and walk the path that once was trod by a most beloved poet. Immerse yourself in the history of the life of William Wordsworth. Hear about the places and people who inspired his words and writing. See the serene settings he speaks of so eloquently in his poetry. Let your heart be touched by the solemnity of this heavenly haven.
If you are intrigued by history and you are inspired by the beauty of nature, you will relish the opportunity to read about Wordsworth's Lake District. But beware, you might just find yourself making your own travel arrangements. I hear it is quite lovely in the spring.
Quotes from “The Kitten and Falling Leaves” and “The Daffodils” by William Wordsworth
