Dorothy Wordsworth
26
22nd.--I
spent
the
morning
in
starching
and
hanging
out
linen;
walked
through
the
wood
in
the
evening,
very
cold.
23rd.--Coleridge
dined
with
us.
He
brought
his
ballad
finished.[11]
We
walked
with
him
to
the
Miner's
house.
A
beautiful
evening,
very
starry,
the
horned
moon.
[Footnote
11:
The
ballad
was
finished
by
February
18,
1798.
See
Early
Recollections,
etc.,
by
Joseph
Cottle,
vol.
i.
p.
307
(1837).--ED.]
24th.--Coleridge,
the
Chesters,
and
Ellen
Cruikshank
called.
We
walked
with
them
through
the
wood.
Went
in
the
evening
into
the
Coombe
to
get
eggs;
returned
through
the
wood,
and
walked
in
the
park.
A
duller
night
than
last
night:
a
sort
of
white
shade
over
the
blue
sky.
The
stars
dim.
The
spring
continues
to
advance
very
slowly,
no
green
trees,
the
hedges
leafless;
nothing
green
but
the
brambles
that
still
retain
their
old
leaves,
the
evergreens,
and
the
palms,
which
indeed
are
not
absolutely
green.
Some
brambles
I
observed
to-day
budding
afresh,
and
those
have
shed
their
old
leaves.
The
crooked
arm
of
the
old
oak
tree
points
upwards
to
the
moon.
25th.--Walked
to
Coleridge's
after
tea.
Arrived
at
home
at
one
o'clock.
The
night
cloudy
but
not
dark.
26th.--Went
to
meet
Wedgwood
at
Coleridge's
after
dinner.
Reached
home
at
half-past
twelve,
a
fine
moonlight
night;
half
moon.
27th.--Dined
at
Poole's.
Arrived
at
home
a
little
after
twelve,
a
partially
cloudy,
but
light
night,
very
cold.
28th.--Hung
out
the
linen.
29th.--Coleridge
dined
with
us.
30th.--Walked
I
know
not
where.
31st.--Walked.
April
1st.--Walked
by
moonlight.
