8th.--Easter
Sunday.
Walked
in
the
morning
in
the
wood,
and
half
way
to
Stowey;
found
the
air
at
first
oppressively
warm,
afterwards
very
pleasant.
9th.--Walked
to
Stowey,
a
fine
air
in
going,
but
very
hot
in
returning.
The
sloe
in
blossom,
the
hawthorns
green,
the
larches
in
the
park
changed
from
black
to
green
in
two
or
three
days.
Met
Coleridge
in
returning.
10th.--I
was
hanging
out
linen
in
the
evening.
We
walked
to
Holford.
I
turned
off
to
the
baker's,
and
walked
beyond
Woodlands,
expecting
to
meet
William,
met
him
on
the
hill;
a
close
warm
evening
...
in
bloom.
11th.--In
the
wood
in
the
morning,
walked
to
the
top
of
the
hill,
then
I
went
down
into
the
wood.
A
pleasant
evening,
a
fine
air,
the
grass
in
the
park
becoming
green,
many
trees
green
in
the
dell.
12th.--Walked
in
the
morning
in
the
wood.
In
the
evening
up
the
Coombe,
fine
walk.
The
Spring
advances
rapidly,
multitudes
of
primroses,
dog-violets,
periwinkles,
stitchwort.
13th.--Walked
in
the
wood
in
the
morning.
In
the
evening
went
to
Stowey.
I
staid
with
Mr.
Coleridge.
Wm.
went
to
Poole's.
Supped
with
Mr.
Coleridge.
14th.--Walked
in
the
wood
in
the
morning.
The
evening
very
stormy,
so
we
staid
within
doors.
Mary
Wollstonecraft's
life,
etc.,
came.
15th.--Set
forward
after
breakfast
to
Crookham,
and
returned
to
dinner
at
three
o'clock.
A
fine
cloudy
morning.
Walked
about
the
squire's
grounds.
Quaint
waterfalls
about,
about
which
Nature
was
very
successfully
striving
to
make
beautiful
what
art
had
deformed--ruins,
hermitages,
etc.
etc.
In
spite
of
all
these
things,
the
dell
romantic
and
beautiful,
though
everywhere
planted
with
unnaturalised
trees.
Happily
we
cannot
shape
the
huge
hills,
or
carve
out
the
valleys
according
to
our
fancy.
