		... At the robbing of an eagle's nest at Wallow Cragg near Haws-water in Westmorland, there were found 35 fish, besides 7 lambs, and other provisions for the young ones; they never have more than two at a time, and many of them breed in these mountains every year. It hath been said by some that they come from Ireland hither to breed, and when the young one are of sufficient strength, they return with them to Ireland again: this assertion I deny, as I have seen them at every season of the year, though they are seldomer seen in Summer than in Winter, when the snow forces them down to the vallies to seek provisions. The lesser eagles are not so common, and are known from the buzzard by their head being less, their neck longer, and their voice. ...

	story	As Charles Williams was born in Mardale, a large boulder fell from Wallow Carg into Haweswater. The parents thought this an ill omen, and declared their son would drown. In his youth, Charles saved a girl, Maria, from a bull, and they fell in love. Before they could marry, she became ill and died. The sad Charles drowned himself by Wallow Crag; his last poem:- And what is death, that I should dread / To mingle with the silent dead? / 'Tis but a pang - and pangs are o'er; / A throb - and throbbing is no more; / One struggle - and that one my last; / A gasp - a groan - and all is past!
