Formerly Stanley Falls, the Boyoma Falls are seven waterfalls on the Lualaba River in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Lualaba eventually becomes the Congo River.

Kinshasa is the capital of Democratic Republic of the Congo and is located on the Congo River. Sir Henry Morgan Stanley founded the city in 1881, then named Léopoldville after the Belgian king.

Wordsworth attended university at St. John's College, Cambridge (1787-1791).  Beginning with high promise, he graduated without honors because he gave his attention to things other than study: rashly touring Europe during the Napoleonic wars and writing poetry.

According to Wordsworth's comments later in life, the fifth poem in the "Poems on the Naming of Places" treats an area around here, in the upper park near Rydal water.  The Wordsworths later moved to Rydal Mount, which is just south of this point closer to Rydal water, as their permanent home.

The encounter in "A narrow girdle of rough stones and crags" happened on the eastern shore of Grasmere lake a few-hundred yards south of Dove Cottage, where William and Dorothy were living at the time.

"Stone Arthur" is the long-standing (and sitll used) name of the "Eminence" named after William by Dorothy in the third poem in "Poems on the Naming of Places."

Here is a likely location for "Emma's Dell," setting of "It was April Morning" and a favorite place to which Wordsworth often returned.  See the images below.

Here, between Stybarrow Crag and Glencoyne Beck on 15 April 1802, Dorothy and William saw the "long belt" of daffodils that "tossed & reeled & danced & seemed as if they verily laughed with the wind" (Dorothy's Grasmere Journal  85).
