Saturday,
24th.--A
very
wet
day.
William
called
me
out
to
see
a
waterfall
behind
the
barberry
tree.
We
walked
in
the
evening
to
Rydale.
Coleridge
and
I
lingered
behind.
C.
stopped
up
the
little
runnel
by
the
road-side
to
make
a
lake.
We
all
stood
to
look
at
Glow-worm
Rock--a
primrose
that
grew
there,
and
just
looked
out
on
the
road
from
its
own
sheltered
bower.[61]
The
clouds
moved,
as
William
observed,
in
one
regular
body
like
a
multitude
in
motion--a
sky
all
clouds
over,
not
one
cloud.[62]
On
our
return
it
broke
a
little
out,
and
we
saw
here
and
there
a
star.
One
appeared
but
for
a
moment
in
a
pale
blue
sky.

Sunday,
25th
April.--After
breakfast
we
set
off
with
Coleridge
towards
Keswick.
Wilkinson
overtook
us
near
the
Potter's,
and
interrupted
our
discourse.
C.
got
into
a
gig
with
Mr.
Beck,
and
drove
away
from
us.
A
shower
came
on,
but
it
was
soon
over.
We
spent
the
morning
in
the
orchard
reading
the
Epithalamium
of
Spenser;
walked
backwards
and
forwards....
Monday,
26th.--I
copied
Wm.'s
poems
for
Coleridge....
Tuesday,
27th.--A
fine
morning.
Mrs.
Luff
called.
I
walked
with
her
to
the
boat-house.
William
met
me
at
the
top
of
the
hill
with
his
fishing-rod
in
his
hand.
I
turned
with
him,
and
we
sate
on
the
hill
looking
to
Rydale.
I
left
him,
intending
to
join
him,
but
he
came
home,
and
said
his
loins
would
not
stand
the
pulling
he
had
had.
We
sate
in
the
orchard.
In
the
evening
W.
began
to
write
The
Tinker;
we
had
a
letter
and
verses
from
Coleridge.
