[Footnote
4:
Mr.
Bartholemew
rented
Alfoxden,
and
sub-let
the
house
to
Wordsworth.--ED.]
2nd.--Walked
through
the
wood,
and
on
to
the
Downs
before
dinner;
a
warm
pleasant
air.
The
sun
shone,
but
was
often
obscured
by
straggling
clouds.
The
redbreasts
made
a
ceaseless
song
in
the
woods.
The
wind
rose
very
high
in
the
evening.
The
room
smoked
so
that
we
were
obliged
to
quit
it.
Young
lambs
in
a
green
pasture
in
the
Coombe,
thick
legs,
large
heads,
black
staring
eyes.
3rd.--A
mild
morning,
the
windows
open
at
breakfast,
the
redbreasts
singing
in
the
garden.
Walked
with
Coleridge
over
the
hills.
The
sea
at
first
obscured
by
vapour;
that
vapour
afterwards
slid
in
one
mighty
mass
along
the
sea-shore;
the
islands
and
one
point
of
land
clear
beyond
it.
The
distant
country
(which
was
purple
in
the
clear
dull
air),
overhung
by
straggling
clouds
that
sailed
over
it,
appeared
like
the
darker
clouds,
which
are
often
seen
at
a
great
distance
apparently
motionless,
while
the
nearer
ones
pass
quickly
over
them,
driven
by
the
lower
winds.
I
never
saw
such
a
union
of
earth,
sky,
and
sea.
The
clouds
beneath
our
feet
spread
themselves
to
the
water,
and
the
clouds
of
the
sky
almost
joined
them.
Gathered
sticks
in
the
wood;
a
perfect
stillness.
The
redbreasts
sang
upon
the
leafless
boughs.
Of
a
great
number
of
sheep
in
the
field,
only
one
standing.
Returned
to
dinner
at
five
o'clock.
The
moonlight
still
and
warm
as
a
summer's
night
at
nine
o'clock.
