The
sun
has
long
been
set,
etc.
He
...
walked
on
our
own
path
and
wrote
the
lines;
he
called
me
into
the
orchard,
and
there
repeated
them
to
me....
Wednesday,
9th
June.--
...
The
hawthorns
on
the
mountain
sides
like
orchards
in
blossom....
Thursday,
10th
June.--
...
Coleridge
came
in
with
a
sack
full
of
books,
etc.,
and
a
branch
of
mountain
ash.
He
had
been
attacked
by
a
cow.
He
came
over
by
Grisdale.
A
furious
wind....
Saturday,
12th
June.--A
rainy
morning.
Coleridge
set
off
before
dinner.
We
went
with
him
to
the
Raise,
but
it
rained,
so
we
went
no
further.
Sheltered
under
a
wall.
He
would
be
sadly
wet,
for
a
furious
shower
came
on
just
when
we
parted....
Sunday,
13th
June.--A
fine
morning.
Sunshiny
and
bright,
but
with
rainy
clouds.
William
...
has
been
altering
the
poem
to
Mary
this
morning....
I
wrote
out
poems
for
our
journey....
Mr.
Simpson
came
when
we
were
in
the
orchard
in
the
morning,
and
brought
us
a
beautiful
drawing
which
he
had
done.
In
the
evening
we
walked,
first
on
our
own
path....
It
was
a
silent
night.
The
stars
were
out
by
ones
and
twos,
but
no
cuckoo,
no
little
birds;
the
air
was
not
warm,
and
we
have
observed
that
since
Tuesday,
8th,
when
William
wrote,
"The
sun
has
long
been
set,"
that
we
have
had
no
birds
singing
after
the
evening
is
fairly
set
in.
We
walked
to
our
new
view
of
Rydale,
but
it
put
on
a
sullen
face.
There
was
an
owl
hooting
in
Bainrigg's.
Its
first
halloo
was
so
like
a
human
shout
that
I
was
surprised,
when
it
gave
its
second
call
tremulous
and
lengthened
out,
to
find
that
the
shout
had
come
from
an
owl.
The
full
moon
(not
quite
full)
was
among
a
company
of
shady
island
clouds,
and
the
sky
bluer
about
it
than
the
natural
sky
blue.
William
observed
that
the
full
moon,
above
a
dark
fir
grove,
is
a
fine
image
of
the
descent
of
a
superior
being.
There
was
a
shower
which
drove
us
into
John's
Grove
before
we
had
quitted
our
favourite
path.
We
walked
upon
John's
path
before
we
went
to
view
Rydale....
