今日は、イギリス旅行を終えて、手荷物と思い出を整理した。
ワーズワースの有名な詩と、思い出を記録にとどめておこう
I wandered lonley as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host,of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake ,beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
（ワーズワース詩集）
Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-endig line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
（ナショナルトラストの帽子）
The waves beside them danced;but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed -and gazed-but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought
（キューガーデンの手袋）
For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.
William Wordsworth
(1770-1850)
