Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Rambler's Notebook at the English Lakes The Spring had been a late one, a fortnight late the farmers said, and the daffodils that come before the swallow dares and take the Winds with beauty, had shown an unaccustomed fearfulness. Though they shone indeed upon southern banks in under-skiddaw, and in the Sheltered wood Of the island Of Derwentwater, it was not till the swallow was seen hawking along the Derwent on April 13th, and the cuckoo two days after was heard in the Crosth waite valley, that I felt sure that the Duddon daffodils would be in full splendour, and determined to take the first opportunity for my annual sight of them.
