PRESENTED TO NATION
. ....— Wordsworth’s Daffodil Field London, February 13. Mr. Gordon Wordsworth, the poet’s grandson, has given to the nation a daffodil -field overlooking Rydal Water which the poet bought and planted for his daughter, Dora. Wordsworth lovers always associate it with the lines of the first verse from No. 12 of “Poems of the Imagination” : I wandered lonely ns a cloud, That floats on high o’er vales and hills, When all at once I saw a crowd, A host ot golden daffodils; Beside Ihe lake, beneath tlie trees, Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
