the flood
Of yon pure waters, from their aëry height
. . . that Torrent white,
just beneath the little upland farm with its emerald plot of tillage, shining like jewels in the July sun,
Hurrying, with lordly Duddon to unite,
—is it possible, I suggest, that Wordsworth was moved by this scene to write Sonnet XIX.?" (H. D. Rawnsley.)
