Cataract of Lodore : ウィキペディア英語版
Cataract of Lodore

"The Cataract of Lodore" is a poem written in 1820 by the English poet Robert Southey which describes the Lodore Falls on the Watendlath Beck just above Derwent Water in Cumbria, England. The poem is a masterpiece of onomatopoeia, employing some of the most clever and evocative language ever used to describe a natural feature. When seen in its entire form, the body of the poem does look like a waterfall.
The Powell Expedition named a canyon on the Green River in the U.S. state of Colorado the Gates of Lodore after this poem.
==Publication history==

One of Southey's most popular poems, "The Cataract of Lodore," made an early appearance in Joanna Baillie's 1823 anthology, ''Poems, Chiefly Manuscript, and from Living Authors''. On its inclusion, Baillie wrote Southey, "Your Cataract of Lodore has pleased & amused me exceedingly... We shall have the younger part of my readers running about with portions of it in their mouths and shaking their heads to the measure, for these six months to come."
