Dorothy Wordsworth
121
Friday,
2nd.--Wm.
and
I
sate
all
the
morning
in
the
field.
Saturday,
3rd.--Wm.
went
on
to
Skiddaw
with
C.
We
dined
at
Calvert's....
Sunday,
4th.--We
drove
by
gig
to
Water
End.
I
walked
down
to
Coleridge's.
Mrs.
Calvert
came
to
Greta
Bank
to
tea.
William
walked
down
with
Mrs.
Calvert,
and
repeated
his
verses
to
them....
Monday,
5th.--We
came
to
Eusemere.
Coleridge
walked
with
us
to
Threlkeld....
Monday,
12th.--
...
The
ground
covered
with
snow.
Walked
to
T.
Wilkinson's
and
sent
for
letters.
The
woman
brought
me
one
from
William
and
Mary.
It
was
a
sharp,
windy
night.
Thomas
Wilkinson
came
with
me
to
Barton,
and
questioned
me
like
a
catechiser
all
the
way.
Every
question
was
like
the
snapping
of
a
little
thread
about
my
heart.
I
was
so
full
of
thought
of
my
half-read
letter
and
other
things.
I
was
glad
when
he
left
me.
Then
I
had
time
to
look
at
the
moon
while
I
was
thinking
my
own
thoughts.
The
moon
travelled
through
the
clouds,
tinging
them
yellow
as
she
passed
along,
with
two
stars
near
her,
one
larger
than
the
other.
These
stars
grew
and
diminished
as
they
passed
from,
or
went
into,
the
clouds.
At
this
time
William,
as
I
found
the
next
day,
was
riding
by
himself
between
Middleham
and
Barnard
Castle....
Tuesday,
13th
April.--Mrs.
C.
waked
me
from
sleep
with
a
letter
from
Coleridge....
I
walked
along
the
lake
side.
The
air
was
become
still,
the
lake
was
of
a
bright
slate
colour,
the
hills
darkening.
The
bays
shot
into
the
low
fading
shores.
Sheep
resting.
All
things
quiet.
When
I
returned
William
was
come.
The
surprise
shot
through
me....
