Dorothy Wordsworth
19
8th.--Went
up
the
Park,
and
over
the
tops
of
the
hills,
till
we
came
to
a
new
and
very
delicious
pathway,
which
conducted
us
to
the
Coombe.
Sat
a
considerable
time
upon
the
heath.
Its
surface
restless
and
glittering
with
the
motion
of
the
scattered
piles
of
withered
grass,
and
the
waving
of
the
spiders'
threads.
On
our
return
the
mist
still
hanging
over
the
sea,
but
the
opposite
coast
clear,
and
the
rocky
cliffs
distinguishable.
In
the
deep
Coombe,
as
we
stood
upon
the
sunless
hill,
we
saw
miles
of
grass,
light
and
glittering,
and
the
insects
passing.
9th.--William
gathered
sticks....
10th.--Walked
to
Woodlands,
and
to
the
waterfall.
The
adder's-tongue
and
the
ferns
green
in
the
low
damp
dell.
These
plants
now
in
perpetual
motion
from
the
current
of
the
air;
in
summer
only
moved
by
the
drippings
of
the
rocks.
A
cloudy
day.
11th.--Walked
with
Coleridge
near
to
Stowey.
The
day
pleasant,
but
cloudy.
12th.--Walked
alone
to
Stowey.
Returned
in
the
evening
with
Coleridge.
A
mild,
pleasant,
cloudy
day.
13th.--Walked
with
Coleridge
through
the
wood.
A
mild
and
pleasant
morning,
the
near
prospect
clear.
The
ridges
of
the
hills
fringed
with
wood,
showing
the
sea
through
them
like
the
white
sky,
and
still
beyond
the
dim
horizon
of
the
distant
hills,
hanging
as
it
were
in
one
undetermined
line
between
sea
and
sky.
14th.--Gathered
sticks
with
William
in
the
wood,
he
being
unwell
and
not
able
to
go
further.
The
young
birch
trees
of
a
bright
red,
through
which
gleams
a
shade
of
purple.
Sat
down
in
a
thick
part
of
the
wood.
The
near
trees
still,
even
to
their
topmost
boughs,
but
a
perpetual
motion
in
those
that
skirt
the
wood.
The
breeze
rose
gently;
its
path
distinctly
marked,
till
it
came
to
the
very
spot
where
we
were.
