And, when with eye upraised <br>To heaven he knelt before the crucifix, <br>While o'er the lake the cataract of Lodore <br>Pealed to his orisons, and when he paced <br>Along the beach of this small isle and thought <br>Of his Companion, he would pray that both <br>(Now that their earthly duties were fulfilled) <br>Might die in the same moment. Nor in vain <br>So prayed he:--as our chronicles report, <br>Though here the Hermit numbered his last day <br>Far from St. Cuthbert his beloved Friend, <br>Those holy Men both died in the same hour.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=William+Wordsworth">William Wordsworth</a><div class=q> <img src="https://www.citatepedia.ro/g/32share.png" style="float:left" alt="Share"> <script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=citatepedia" async="async"></script><div style="display:inline-block" class="addthis_sharing_toolbox" data-url="http://en.citatepedia.ro/comments.php?id=539990" data-title="For The Spot Where The Hermitage Stood on St. Herbert's Island, Derwentwater. de William Wordsworth" data-description="If thou in the dear love of some one Friend Hast been so happy that thou know'st what thoughts Will sometimes in the happiness of love Make the heart sink, then wilt thou reverence This quiet spot; and, Stranger! not unmoved Wilt thou behold ..."></div> </div> </div>
