Friday.--A
very
rainy
morning.
I
went
up
into
the
lane
to
collect
a
few
green
mosses
to
make
the
chimney
gay
against
my
darling's
return.
Poor
C.,
I
did
not
wish
for,
or
expect
him,
it
rained
so....
Coleridge
came
in.
His
eyes
were
a
little
swollen
with
the
wind.
I
was
much
affected
by
the
sight
of
him,
he
seemed
half-stupefied.
William
came
in
soon
after.
Coleridge
went
to
bed
late,
and
William
and
I
sate
up
till
four
o'clock.
A
letter
from
Sara
sent
by
Mary.
They
disputed
about
Ben
Jonson.
My
spirits
were
agitated
very
much.
Saturday.--
...
When
I
awoke
the
whole
vale
was
covered
with
snow.
William
and
Coleridge
walked....
We
had
a
little
talk
about
going
abroad.
After
tea
William
read
The
Pedlar.
Talked
about
various
things--christening
the
children,
etc.
etc.
Went
to
bed
at
12
o'clock.
Sunday.--Coleridge
and
William
lay
long
in
bed.
We
sent
up
to
George
Mackareth's
for
the
horse
to
go
to
Keswick,
but
we
could
not
have
it.
Went
with
C.
to
Borwick's
where
he
left
us.
William
very
unwell.
We
had
a
sweet
and
tender
conversation.
I
wrote
to
Mary
and
Sara.
Monday.--A
rainy
day.
William
very
poorly.
2
letters
from
Sara,
and
one
from
poor
Annette.
Wrote
to
my
brother
Richard.
We
talked
a
good
deal
about
C.
and
other
interesting
things.
We
resolved
to
see
Annette,
and
that
Wm.
should
go
to
Mary.
Wm.
wrote
to
Coleridge
not
to
expect
us
till
Thursday
or
Friday.
Tuesday.--A
mild
morning.
William
worked
at
The
Cuckoo
poem.
I
sewed
beside
him....
I
read
German,
and,
at
the
closing-in
of
day,
went
to
sit
in
the
orchard.
William
came
to
me,
and
walked
backwards
and
forwards.
We
talked
about
C.
Wm.
repeated
the
poem
to
me.
I
left
him
there,
and
in
20
minutes
he
came
in,
rather
tired
with
attempting
to
write.
He
is
now
reading
Ben
Jonson.
I
am
going
to
read
German.
It
is
about
10
o'clock,
a
quiet
night.
The
fire
flickers,
and
the
watch
ticks.
I
hear
nothing
save
the
breathing
of
my
Beloved
as
he
now
and
then
pushes
his
book
forward,
and
turns
over
a
leaf....
