Remember.

Volkov, Early Morning, undated


Once on the brow of yonder Hill I stopped, 
While I was yet a School-boy (of what age
I cannot well remember, but the hour
I well remember though the year be gone), 
And with a sudden influx overcome
At sight of this seclusion, I forgot 
My haste – for hasty had my footsteps been, 
As boyish my pursuits – [and sighing said],
‘What happy fortune were it here to live!’

William Wordsworth, from "Home at Grasmere"
