Sunday.--William
went
in
the
boat
to
Harburgh.
In
our
road
to
the
boat
we
looked
into
one
of
the
large
churches.
Service
was
just
ended.
The
audience
appeared
to
be
simply
composed
of
singing
boys
dressed
in
large
cocked
hats,
and
a
few
old
women
who
sat
in
the
aisles....
Met
many
bright-looking
girls
with
white
caps,
carrying
black
prayer-books
in
their
hands....
Coleridge
went
to
Ratzeberg
at
five
o'clock
in
the
diligence.
Chester
accompanied
me
towards
Altona.
The
streets
wide
and
pleasant
in
that
quarter
of
the
town.
Immense
crowds
of
people
walking
for
pleasure,
and
many
pleasure-waggons
passing
and
repassing.
Passed
through
a
nest
of
Jews.
Were
invited
to
view
an
exhibition
of
waxwork.
The
theatres
open,
and
the
billiard-tables
attended.
The
walks
very
pleasing
between
Hamburgh
and
Altona.
A
large
piece
of
ground
planted
with
trees,
and
intersected
by
gravel
walks.
Music,
cakes,
fruit,
carriages,
and
foot-passengers
of
all
descriptions.
A
very
good
view
of
the
shipping,
and
of
Altona
and
the
town
and
spires
of
Hamburgh.
I
could
not
but
remark
how
much
the
prospect
would
have
suffered
by
one
of
our
English
canopies
of
coal
smoke.
The
ground
on
the
opposite
side
of
the
Elbe
appears
marshy.
There
are
many
little
canals
or
lines
of
water.
While
the
sun
was
yet
shining
pleasantly,
we
were
obliged
to
blink
perpetually
to
turn
our
eyes
to
the
church
clock.
The
gates
are
shut
at
half-past
six
o'clock,
and
there
is
no
admittance
into
the
city
after
that
time.
This
idea
deducts
much
from
the
pleasure
of
an
evening
walk.
You
are
haunted
by
it
long
before
the
time
has
elapsed....
