"... THE Lake district ... consists of large masses or clusters of mountains, generally terminating in one aspiring and pre-eminent point, with the intermediate valleys occupied either by lakes and their subsidiary tarns, or by winding rivers."
"The chief nuclei of these clusters are, Skiddaw and Blencathra, Helvellyn, Fairfield, Coniston Old Man, Blackcomb, Scafell, Gable, Red Pike, Grasmoor, Grisdale Pike, and the Langdale Pikes. Many noble and commanding mountains rise around these, rivalling them in height and grandeur, but still"

In the presentation of endlessly-diversified forms, these Mountains yield to none, however individually inferior they may be, owing to their being seldom seen in a detached point of view; although, on the other hand, they have thus the advantage of forming combinations at once grand and sublime, towering above each other, or rising in ridges, like the mighty billows of the ocean."

Up through an ample vale, with higher hills
Before us, mountains stern and desolate;
But, in the majesty of distance now
Set off, and to our view appearing fair
Of aspect, with aerial softness clad.
And beautified with morning's purple beams.'"

At the calm close of summer's longest day,
Rests his substantial orb; between those heights,
And on the top of either pinnacle,
More keenly than elsewhere in night's blue vault,
Sparkle the stars, as of their station proud.'"

The north-west pike is the lowest, but most regular and conical; the south, is more broken and rugged; and the east, which is the highest and most easy of ascent, overlooks the rest, and all these mountain regions, rising in masses, that are beheld with somewhat of terror. Langdale Head and Scafell Pikes are quite close. On the right are Great End in Borrowdale, Seatoller in Yewbarrow, Great Gable in Wastdale, Glaramara and Rosthwaite Cam, Grasmire, Grizedale and Causey Pikes, Lord's Seat, and the distant coasts of Cumberland and Scotland.
