[Footnote

See
the
poem
Alice
Fell,
in
the
"Poetical
Works,"
vol.
ii.
p.
273.--ED.]
Wednesday,
17th.--A
miserable
nasty
snowy
morning.
We
did
not
walk,
but
the
old
man
from
the
hill
brought
us
a
short
letter
from
Mary
H.
I
copied
the
second
part
of
Peter
Bell....
Thursday,
18th.--A
foggy
morning.
I
copied
new
part
of
Peter
Bell
in
W.'s
absence,
and
began
a
letter
to
Coleridge.
Wm.
came
in
with
a
letter
from
Coleridge....
We
talked
together
till
11
o'clock,
when
Wm.
got
to
work,
and
was
no
worse
for
it.
Hard
frost.
Saturday,
20th.--
...
I
wrote
the
first
part
of
Peter
Bell....
Sunday,
21st.--A
very
wet
morning.
I
wrote
the
2nd
prologue
to
Peter
Bell....
After
dinner
I
wrote
the
1st
prologue....
Snowdrops
quite
out,
but
cold
and
winterly;
yet,
for
all
this,
a
thrush
that
lives
in
our
orchard
has
shouted
and
sung
its
merriest
all
day
long
...
Monday,
22nd.--Wm.
brought
me
4
letters
to
read--from
Annette
and
Caroline,[52]
Mary
and
Sara,
and
Coleridge....
In
the
evening
we
walked
to
the
top
of
the
hill,
then
to
the
bridge.
We
hung
over
the
wall,
and
looked
at
the
deep
stream
below.
It
came
with
a
full,
steady,
yet
a
very
rapid
flow
down
to
the
lake.
The
sykes
made
a
sweet
sound
everywhere,
and
looked
very
interesting
in
the
twilight,
and
that
little
one
above
Mr.
Olliff's
house
was
very
impressive.
A
ghostly
white
serpent
line,
it
made
a
sound
most
distinctly
heard
of
itself.
The
mountains
were
black
and
steep,
the
tops
of
some
of
them
having
snow
yet
visible.
