Finaly I was there at the Doves cottage on the 26th of June 2008
Travelling through hills and mountains , whose water falls fill endlessly the lake district of England , in the gentle drizzles of that day, I stood face to face with the Works of Willam Wordsworth, the museum, buying his monumental plume , with the poetic words written behind , looking high above the sky I saw clouds moving and the mists on the mountains , so I could imagine why Wordsworth ” Moving Lonely just like the clouds” I would love to see it again. On a sunny Day
