    “The sounding cataract
    Haunted me like a passion: the tall rock,
    The mountain, and the deep and gloomy wood,
    Their colours and their forms, were then to me

    That had no need of a remoter charm,
    By thought supplied, or any interest
    Unborrowed from the eye.—”
    —William Wordsworth (1770–1850)
