Dorothy Wordsworth
79
Thursday,
10th
December.--
...
We
walked
into
Easedale
to
gather
mosses,
and
then
we
went
...
up
the
Gill,
beyond
that
little
waterfall.
It
was
a
wild
scene
of
crag
and
mountain.
One
craggy
point
rose
above
the
rest
irregular
and
rugged,
and
very
impressive
it
was.
We
were
very
unsuccessful
in
our
search
after
mosses.
Just
when
the
evening
was
closing
in,
Mr.
Clarkson
came
to
the
door.
It
was
a
fine
frosty
evening.
We
played
at
cards.
Saturday,
12th.--
...
Snow
upon
the
ground....
All
looked
cheerful
and
bright.
Helm
Crag
rose
very
bold
and
craggy,
a
Being
by
itself,
and
behind
it
was
the
large
ridge
of
mountain,
smooth
as
marble
and
snow
white.
All
the
mountains
looked
like
solid
stone,
on
our
left,
going
from
Grasmere,
i.e.
White
Moss
and
Nab
Scar.
The
snow
hid
all
the
grass,
and
all
signs
of
vegetation,
and
the
rocks
showed
themselves
boldly
everywhere,
and
seemed
more
stony
than
rock
or
stone.
The
birches
on
the
crags
beautiful,
red
brown
and
glittering.
The
ashes
glittering
spears
with
their
upright
stems.
The
hips
very
beautiful,
and
so
good!!
and,
dear
Coleridge!
I
ate
twenty
for
thee,
when
I
was
by
myself.
I
came
home
first.
They
walked
too
slow
for
me.
Wm.
went
to
look
at
Langdale
Pikes.
We
had
a
sweet
invigorating
walk.
Mr.
Clarkson
came
in
before
tea.
We
played
at
cards.
Sate
up
late.
The
moon
shone
upon
the
waters
below
Silver
How,
and
above
it
hung,
combining
with
Silver
How
on
one
side,
a
bowl-shaped
moon,
the
curve
downwards,
the
white
fields,
glittering
roof
of
Thomas
Ashburner's
house,
the
dark
yew
tree,
the
white
fields
gay
and
beautiful.
Wm.
lay
with
his
curtains
open
that
he
might
see
it.
