9) Who wrote this verse about the sublime landscape of 'The Heart of England' in Colebrook Dale?
With umber’d flames, bicker
Dark’ning the Summer’s sun with columns large
Of thick, sulphurous smoke, which spread, like palls
That screen the dead, upon Sylvan robe
Of thy aspiring rocks; pollute they gales,
And stain thy glassy waters.
Anna Seward
Percy Bysshe Shelley
William Wordsworth
