Tonight, we'll read another excerpt from Dorothy Wordsworth's personal journals,

which she kept in the year 1802.

It was published almost a century later in 1897.

Wordsworth was an English author, poet, and diarist.

She was the sister of the romantic poet William Wordsworth,

and the two were close all their adult lives.

This particular journal was from a period that the siblings were staying in the village of Grasmer, England.

The Wordsworths, part of the Lake Poets group known for living near Grasmer Lake,

lived in Grasmer for 14 years and called it the loveliest spot that man had ever found.

Another of the Lake Poets is mentioned frequently in this journal.

They're friend the poet Samuel Taylor Colbridge.
