Dorothy Wordsworth
168
We
found
out
Annette
and
C.
chez
Madame
Avril
dans
la
Rue
de
la
Tête
d'or.
We
lodged
opposite
two
ladies,
in
tolerably
decent-sized
rooms,
but
badly
furnished....
The
weather
was
very
hot.
We
walked
by
the
sea-shore
almost
every
evening
with
Annette
and
Caroline,
or
William
and
I
alone.
I
had
a
bad
cold,
and
could
not
bathe
at
first,
but
William
did.
It
was
a
pretty
sight
to
see
as
we
walked
upon
the
sands
when
the
tide
was
low,
perhaps
a
hundred
people
bathing
about
a
quarter
of
a
mile
distant
from
us.
And
we
had
delightful
walks
after
the
heat
of
the
day
was
passed--seeing
far
off
in
the
west
the
coast
of
England
like
a
cloud
crested
with
Dover
castle,
which
was
but
like
the
summit
of
the
cloud--the
evening
star
and
the
glory
of
the
sky,[73]
the
reflections
in
the
water
were
more
beautiful
than
the
sky
itself,
purple
waves
brighter
than
precious
stones,
for
ever
melting
away
upon
the
sands.
The
fort,
a
wooden
building,
at
the
entrance
of
the
harbour
at
Calais,
when
the
evening
twilight
was
coming
on,
and
we
could
not
see
anything
of
the
building
but
its
shape,
which
was
far
more
distinct
than
in
perfect
daylight,
seemed
to
be
reared
upon
pillars
of
ebony,
between
which
pillars
the
sea
was
seen
in
the
most
beautiful
colours
that
can
be
conceived.
Nothing
in
romance
was
ever
half
so
beautiful.
