Tintern Abbey II

Posted by Michael (Wuppertal, Germany) on 7 October 2007 in Architecture.

Once again
Do I behold these steep and lofty cliffs,
That on a wild secluded scene impress
Thoughts of more deep seclusion; and connect
The landscape with the quiet of the sky.
The day is come when I again repose
Here, under this dark sycamore, and view
These plots of cottage-ground, these orchard-tufts,
Which at this season, with their unripe fruits,
Are clad in one green hue, and lose themselves
‘Mid groves and copses.

[‘Lines composed a few miles above Tintern Abbey’, William Wordsworth]
