[Footnote
5:
This
house
was
afterwards
John
Kenyon's,--to
whom
Aurora
Leigh
is
dedicated,--and
was
subsequently
the
residence
of
the
Rev.
William
Nichols,
author
of
The
Quantocks
and
their
Associations.--ED.]
19th.--I
walked
to
Stowey
before
dinner;
Wm.
unable
to
go
all
the
way.
Returned
alone;
a
fine
sunny,
clear,
frosty
day.
The
sea
still,
and
blue,
and
broad,
and
smooth.
20th.--Walked
after
dinner
towards
Woodlands.
21st.--Coleridge
came
in
the
morning,
which
prevented
our
walking.
Wm.
went
through
the
wood
with
him
towards
Stowey;
a
very
stormy
night.
22nd.--Coleridge
came
in
the
morning
to
dinner.
Wm.
and
I
walked
after
dinner
to
Woodlands;
the
moon
and
two
planets;
sharp
and
frosty.
Met
a
razor-grinder
with
a
soldier's
jacket
on,
a
knapsack
upon
his
back,
and
a
boy
to
drag
his
wheel.
The
sea
very
black,
and
making
a
loud
noise
as
we
came
through
the
wood,
loud
as
if
disturbed,
and
the
wind
was
silent.
23rd.--William
walked
with
Coleridge
in
the
morning.
I
did
not
go
out.
24th.--Went
to
the
hill-top.
Sat
a
considerable
time
overlooking
the
country
towards
the
sea.
The
air
blew
pleasantly
round
us.
The
landscape
mildly
interesting.
The
Welsh
hills
capped
by
a
huge
range
of
tumultuous
white
clouds.
The
sea,
spotted
with
white,
of
a
bluish
grey
in
general,
and
streaked
with
darker
lines.
The
near
shores
clear;
scattered
farm
houses,
half-concealed
by
green
mossy
orchards,
fresh
straw
lying
at
the
doors;
hay-stacks
in
the
fields.
Brown
fallows,
the
springing
wheat,
like
a
shade
of
green
over
the
brown
earth,
and
the
choice
meadow
plots,
full
of
sheep
and
lambs,
of
a
soft
and
vivid
green;
a
few
wreaths
of
blue
smoke,
spreading
along
the
ground;
the
oaks
and
beeches
in
the
hedges
retaining
their
yellow
leaves;
the
distant
prospect
on
the
land
side,
islanded
with
sunshine;
the
sea,
like
a
basin
full
to
the
margin;
the
dark
fresh-ploughed
fields;
the
turnips
of
a
lively
rough
green.
Returned
through
the
wood.
