[Footnote
67:
Mary
Point
and
Sara
Point;
the
"two
heath-clad
rocks"
referred
to
in
one
of
the
"Poems
on
the
Naming
of
Places."--ED.]
Monday,
24th
May.--A
very
hot
morning.
We
were
ready
to
go
off
with
Coleridge,
but
foolishly
sauntered,
and
Miss
Taylor
and
Miss
Stanley
called.
William
and
Coleridge
and
I
went
afterwards
to
the
top
of
the
Raise.
I
had
sent
off
a
letter
to
Mary
by
C.
I
wrote
again,
and
to
C.
Tuesday,
25th.--
...
Papers
and
short
note
from
C.;
again
no
sleep
for
William.
Friday,
28th.--
...
William
tired
himself
with
hammering
at
a
passage.
...
We
sate
in
the
orchard.
The
sky
cloudy,
the
air
sweet
and
cool.
The
young
bullfinches,
in
their
party-coloured
raiment,
bustle
about
among
the
blossoms,
and
poise
themselves
like
wire-dancers
or
tumblers,
shaking
the
twigs
and
dashing
off
the
blossoms.[68]
There
is
yet
one
primrose
in
the
orchard.
The
stitchwort
is
fading.
The
vetches
are
in
abundance,
blossoming
and
seeding.
That
pretty
little
wavy-looking
dial-like
yellow
flower,
the
speedwell,
and
some
others,
whose
names
I
do
not
yet
know.
The
wild
columbines
are
coming
into
beauty;
some
of
the
gowans
fading.
In
the
garden
we
have
lilies,
and
many
other
flowers.
The
scarlet
beans
are
up
in
crowds.
It
is
now
between
eight
and
nine
o'clock.
It
has
rained
sweetly
for
two
hours
and
a
half;
the
air
is
very
mild.
The
heckberry
blossoms
are
dropping
off
fast,
almost
gone;
barberries
are
in
beauty;
snowballs
coming
forward;
May
roses
blossoming.
