Excerpt from Speckled Trout, Fishing Lines and Other Verse Written by the poet upon a blank leaf in a copy of "The Compleat Angler". "While flowing rivers yield a blameless sport, Shall live the name of Walton: Sage benign! Whose pen, the mysteries of the rod and line Unfolding, did not fruitlessly export To reverend watching of each still report That Nature utters from her rural shrine. Meek, nobly versed in simple discipline - He found the longest summer day too short, To his loved pastime given by sedgy Lea, Or down the tempting maze of Shawford brook - Fairer than life itself, in this sweet Book, The cowslip-bank and shady willow-tree, And the fresh mead - where flow, from every nook Of his full bosom, gladsome Piety!" William Wordsworth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
