 A Discussion of Hardy's September 1920 Poem Commemorating Keats's Visit to Lulworth Cove
Hardy had suggested that Lulworth Cove was a likely spot and that some of the geological features there matched up with the notes in Joseph Severn's diary account of the landing.
Situated about 8 miles east of Weymouth is Lulworth Cove--a cove which has a very smooth, almost semi-circular shore-line.
Clearly, then, Lulworth or Lulwind Cove was a numinous place for the younger Hardy, and one may wonder how much the Keatsian connexion played a part in Hardy's interest in both his prose and verse.
