Wordsworth's two voices, and J. K. Stephen's 1891 parody.
Wordsworth and the Visible Man.
Once again, what Wordsworth would have seen "a few miles above Tintern Abbey," thanks to D. S. Miall: a modern-day view and the relevant plate from Samuel Ireland's Picturesque Views on the River Wye (1797), which describes Wordsworth's path. The Wye with sycamores (picture by Miall).
A very Wordsworthian picture (with two senses of "nature," if not many more).
Wordsworth's Immortality Ode.
An albatross.
Coleridge's "Dejection: An Ode."
The new moon with the old moon in her arms. John Constable's 1816 painting "Weymouth Bay."
All about the ballad "Sir Patrick Spens." Ewan MacColl's a cappella version; a well-known folk-rock version.
A modern copy of a 17th-c. Aeolian harp. Another Aeolian harp, by the modern Canadian instrument maker David Johnson, but not far from early 19th-c designs. The "Aeolian lyre" in Thomas Gray.
