as does, for example, the Stob Dearg in the Buchaile Etive Mor group in Argyll, a peak which he saw in the course of his Scottish tour in that year. —ED.
[AM] Compare Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey (vol. ii. p.54)—
The sounding cataract
Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood.
Their colours and their forms, were then to me
An appetite.
[AN] With this description of the boy and youth, compare Coleridge's words in The Friend, vol. iii. p. 46 (edition of 1818)—
"We have been discoursing of infancy, childhood, boyhood, and youth, of pleasures lying upon the unfolding intellect plenteously as morning dew-drops—of knowledge inhaled insensibly like the fragrance—of dispositions stealing into the spirit like music from unknown quarters—of images uncalled for and rising up like exhalations, of hopes plucked like beautiful wild flowers from the ruined tombs that border the highways of antiquity, to make a garland for a living forehead: in a word, we have been treating of nature as a teacher of truth through joy and through gladness, and as a creatress of the faculties by a process of smoothness and delight. We have made no mention of fear, shame, sorrow, nor of ungovernable and vexing thoughts; because, although these have been and have done mighty service, they are overlooked in that stage of life when youth is passing into manhood, overlooked or forgotten."—ED.
[AO] Enterprise. Compare the poem To Enterprise, which, Wordsworth says, "arose out of The Italian Itinerant, and The Swiss Goatherd." Compare also the latter poem, No. xxv. of the "Memorials of a Tour on the Continent" (1820).—ED.
