Druidical Circle near Keswick in cumberland. From the Druidical Antiquities Plate.details

I remember visiting this stone circle one November, drawn to the spiritual nature of the place. It was cold and rainy, and as group of very determined hikers walked past me one of them, seeing I was cold and barefoot, sneered at me and said “you’d have done better to have stayed at home.” Perhaps he thought that I was unhappy, or that I was hiking. The group passed by without seeming even to notice the ancient stone circle, and I had to wonder whether perhaps they were the ones who might as well have stayed at home, for all the notice they took of their surroundings.
