...
On
Thursday,
30th
December,
I
went
to
Keswick.
William
rode
before
me
to
the
foot
of
the
hill
nearest
K.
There
we
parted
close
to
a
little
watercourse,
which
was
then
noisy
with
water,
but
on
my
return
a
dry
channel....
We
stopped
our
horse
close
to
the
ledge,
opposite
a
tuft
of
primroses,
three
flowers
in
full
blossom
and
a
bud.
They
reared
themselves
up
among
the
green
moss.
We
debated
long
whether
we
should
pluck
them,
and
at
last
left
them
to
live
out
their
day,
which
I
was
right
glad
of
at
my
return
the
Sunday
following;
for
there
they
remained,
uninjured
either
by
cold
or
wet.
I
stayed
at
Keswick
over
New
Year's
Day,
and
returned
on
Sunday,
the
2nd
January....
William
was
alarmed
at
my
long
delay,
and
came
to
within
three
miles
of
Keswick....
Coleridge
stayed
with
us
till
Tuesday,
January
4th.
W.
and
I
...
walked
with
him
to
Ambleside.
We
parted
with
him
at
the
turning
of
the
lane,
he
going
on
horseback
to
the
top
of
Kirkstone.
On
Thursday
6th,
C.
returned,
and
on
Friday,
the
7th,
he
and
Sara
went
to
Keswick.
W.
accompanied
them
to
the
foot
of
Wytheburn....
It
was
a
gentle
day,
and
when
William
and
I
returned
home
just
before
sunset,
it
was
a
heavenly
evening.
A
soft
sky
was
among
the
hills,
and
a
summer
sunshine
above,
and
blending
with
this
sky,
for
it
was
more
like
sky
than
clouds;
the
turf
looked
warm
and
soft.
