Often fascinating philosophical discussion set as a long narrative poem in ornate poetic language, about a foot journey by two, three, or sometimes four or more people, through landscape and town of England's Lake District. Discussion aimed at convincing one man - a sad and alienated hermit, whose own family has died and whose social/political hopes have been horribly dashed by the bloody fiasco at the French Revolution's end - that he shouldn't abandon humanity, and that there's good reason for optimism.
