The Prose Works of William Wordsworth

PART III
158/791

The glorious appearance disclosed above and among the mountains, was described partly from what my friend Mr.Luff, who then lived in Paterdale, witnessed upon this melancholy occasion, and partly from what Mrs.Wordsworth and I had seen, in company with Sir G.and Lady Beaumont, above Hartshope Hall, in our way from Paterdale to Ambleside.
And now for a few words upon the church, its monuments, and of the deceased who are spoken of as lying in the surrounding churchyard.

But first for the one picture given by the 'Wanderer' of the living.

In this nothing is introduced but what was taken from Nature, and real life.

The cottage was called Hackett, and stands, as described, on the southern extremity of the ridge which separates the two Langdales.

The pair who inhabited it were called Jonathan and Betty Yewdale.
