William Wordsworth was born in Cockermouth, Cumberland. In 1798 he published the ‘Lyrical Ballads’ with Coleridge, settling shortly after in Dove Cottage, Grasmere, with his sister Dorothy. He died at Rydal Mount in 1850, shortly before the posthumous publication of that landmark of English Romanticism, ‘The Prelude.’

Description

Earth has not anything to show more fair:
Dull would he be of soul who could pass by
A sight so touching in its majesty . . .
