Driven back upon him-self, he took inspiration from the memories of Hawksheadand Alfoxden, and wrote some of his best poems—Influ-ence of Natural Objects (see p. 7), Nutting (p. 10), The WILLIAM n OADS 11 OA TH. XXlll Poefs Epitaph, The Fountain, Two April Mornings,Ruth, and the five poems grouped about the name of Lucy.There, too, to depict the histor\ of his mind and of hisdedication to poelrj-, he began The Prelude. His stay inGermany ended in July, 1799. In the autumn of thatyear the brother and sister made excursions throughCumberland and Westmoreland, and were led by thenatural beauty of those shires to take up their abode,December. 1799, in Grasmere, Westmoreland, in Dove Cot-tage, at the extremity of the village known as Town-end. Text Appearing After Image: DOVE COTTAGE, GRASMERE, AND RYDAL MOUNT. Gray has described tlie Grasmere scenerj^ and DeQuincej^ the Wordsworth cottage—a little white cottage,sheltered in trees, overhung by the lofty mountainascending behind it ; in front, the quiet crystal of Gras-mere water and the stretching meadow-vale in whichlies the village with its embowered houses : all about,the encircling eternal hills, and in their bosom, in thosedays, quiet peace. xxiv INTRODUCTIONS. Daring 1800 the poet wrote Poems on the Naming ofPlaces, The Brothers, The Pet Lamb, and that impas-sioned narrative, breathing the spirit of the Cumberlandmountains—Michael (p. 10). In 1802 lie paid a fljing visitto France, the memorials of which are the group of son-nets that includes those written at Calais (see pp. 28-29).The same j^ear lie married Mary Hutcliinson, a school-mate of his childhood, a wife worthj of her husband andhis sister and of tlie poem She teas a Phantom of Delight,depicting that perfect Avoman nobly planned.
