It was at Lulworth Cove, in September 1820, that John Keats, sailing to Italy, was delayed because his ship lay becalmed, and spent a day ashore clambering over the rocks. Then he went back on board to complete his final sonnet:
Bright Star, would I were steadfast as thou art -
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task.
The story of Keats' landing at Lulworth Cove, his last glimpse of England, inspired Thomas Hardy to write 'At Lulworth Cove a Century Back'
At Lulworth Cove a Century Back also exists in an edition for voice and string quartet. Contact doublebass@tiscali.co.uk for more details.
