Tuesday,
30th
September.--Charles
Lloyd
dined
with
us.
We
walked
homewards
with
him
after
dinner.
It
rained
very
hard.
Rydale
was
extremely
wild,
and
we
had
a
fine
walk.
We
sate
quietly
and
comfortably
by
the
fire.
I
wrote
the
last
sheet
of
Notes
and
Preface.[30a]
Went
to
bed
at
twelve
o'clock.
[Footnote
30a:
i.e.
of
the
Notes
and
Preface
to
the
second
edition
of
Lyrical
Ballads.--ED.]
Wednesday,
1st
October.--A
fine
morning,
a
showery
night.
The
lake
still
in
the
morning;
in
the
forenoon
flashing
light
from
the
beams
of
the
sun,
as
it
was
ruffled
by
the
wind.
We
corrected
the
last
sheet.[30]
[Footnote
30:
i.e.
of
the
Notes
and
Preface
to
the
second
edition
of
Lyrical
Ballads.--ED.]
Thursday,
2nd
October.--A
very
rainy
morning.
We
walked
after
dinner
to
observe
the
torrents.
I
followed
Wm.
to
Rydale.
We
afterwards
went
to
Butterlip
How.
The
Black
Quarter
looked
marshy,
and
the
general
prospect
was
cold,
but
the
force
was
very
grand.
The
lichens
are
now
coming
out
afresh.
I
carried
home
a
collection
in
the
afternoon.
We
had
a
pleasant
conversation
about
the
manners
of
the
rich;
avarice,
inordinate
desires,
and
the
effeminacy,
unnaturalness,
and
unworthy
objects
of
education.
The
moonlight
lay
upon
the
hills
like
snow.
Friday,
3rd
October.--Very
rainy
all
the
morning.
Wm.
walked
to
Ambleside
after
dinner.
I
went
with
him
part
of
the
way.
He
talked
much
about
the
object
of
his
essay
for
the
second
volume
of
"L.
B."
...
Amos
Cottle's
death
in
the
Morning
Post.
