And for my own part, I cordially echo the sentiment of Wordsworth, who when conversing with Mrs. Hemans about the scenery of the Lakes in the North of England, observed: "I would not give up the mists that spiritualize our mountains for all the blue skies of Italy.

There is another spot in that neighborhood which strangers look up to with interest from the lake itself,Dovenest, the abode of Mrs. Hemans for the short time of her residence at the Lakes.
