25th.--I
lay
down
in
the
morning,
though
the
whole
day
was
very
pleasant,
and
the
evening
fine.
We
did
not
walk.
26th.--Coleridge
came
in
the
morning,
and
Mr.
and
Mrs.
Cruikshank[6];
walked
with
Coleridge
nearly
to
Stowey
after
dinner.
A
very
clear
afternoon.
We
lay
sidelong
upon
the
turf,
and
gazed
on
the
landscape
till
it
melted
into
more
than
natural
loveliness.
The
sea
very
uniform,
of
a
pale
greyish
blue,
only
one
distant
bay,
bright
and
blue
as
a
sky;
had
there
been
a
vessel
sailing
up
it,
a
perfect
image
of
delight.
Walked
to
the
top
of
a
high
hill
to
see
a
fortification.
Again
sat
down
to
feed
upon
the
prospect;
a
magnificent
scene,
curiously
spread
out
for
even
minute
inspection,
though
so
extensive
that
the
mind
is
afraid
to
calculate
its
bounds.
A
winter
prospect
shows
every
cottage,
every
farm,
and
the
forms
of
distant
trees,
such
as
in
summer
have
no
distinguishing
mark.
On
our
return,
Jupiter
and
Venus
before
us.
While
the
twilight
still
overpowered
the
light
of
the
moon,
we
were
reminded
that
she
was
shining
bright
above
our
heads,
by
our
faint
shadows
going
before
us.
We
had
seen
her
on
the
tops
of
the
hills,
melting
into
the
blue
sky.
Poole
called
while
we
were
absent.

6:
Of
Nether-Stowey,
the
agent
of
the
Earl
of
Egmont.--ED.]
27th.--I
walked
to
Stowey
in
the
evening.
Wm.
and
Basil
went
with
me
through
the
wood.
The
prospect
bright,
yet
mildly
beautiful.
The
sea
big
and
white,
swelled
to
the
very
shores,
but
round
and
high
in
the
middle.
Coleridge
returned
with
me,
as
far
as
the
wood.
A
very
bright
moonlight
night.
Venus
almost
like
another
moon.
Lost
to
us
at
Alfoxden
long
before
she
goes
down
the
large
white
sea.
