Keswick

Today we visited Dove Cottage. It is the place where William Wordsworth wrote the majority of his poetry. We had a "lecture" by a guy who works there. He showed us some of Wordsworth's manuscripts, journals, and first editions of his poetry. He passes around one of the manuscripts after emphasizing that we only touch the cardboard binding and not the paper. Apparently he never passes around the manuscripts. We were all beside ourselves.
