Text Appearing Before Image: Text Appearing After Image: CUMBERLAND, DURHAM, AND NORTHUMBERLAND. 213 CLARE-MOSS,—WESTMORLAND. This romantic locality is situate at the extreme end of Little Langdale; and thepresent view looks in the direction of Bley Tarn and Langdale Pikes. The spot issurrounded by lofty mountains and crags; that on the left hand, assuming a prominentcharacter in the engraving, is called Blackrigg. At the proper season of the year, themountain shepherds bring hither their fleecy charge to wash them, a customary preludeto the shearing. In one diffusive band,They drive the troubled flocks, by many a dogCompelld, to where the mazy running brookForms the deep pool; this bank abrupt and high,And that fair swelling in a pebbled shore.Urged to the giddy brink, much is the toil,The clamour much, of men, and boys, and dogs,Ere the soft fearful people to the floodCommit their woolly sides. And oft the swain,On some impatient seizing, hurls them in :Emboldend then, nor hesitating more,Fast, fast, they plunge amid the flashing wave,A Note About Images Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original work. -
