Stratford-upon-Avon.
Stratford-upon-Avon from "The sketch book": Washington Irving
"I had come to Stratford on a poetical pilgrimage. My first visit was to the house where
Shakespeare was born, and where, according to
tradition, he was brought up to his father's craft
of wool-combing. It is a small mean-looking
edifice of wood and plaster, a true nestling-place
of genius, which seems to delight in hatching its
offspring in by-corners. The walls of its squalid
chambers are covered with names and inscriptions in every language, by pilgrims of all
nations, ranks, and conditions, from the prince
to the peasant; and present a simple, but
striking instance of the spontaneous and
universal homage of mankind to the great poet
of nature."
