EXTRACTS
FROM
DOROTHY
WORDSWORTH'S
JOURNAL
(FROM
1ST
JANUARY
1802
TO
8TH
JULY
1802)
New
Year's
Day.--We
walked,
Wm.
and
I,
towards
Martindale.
January
2nd.--It
snowed
all
day.
We
walked
near
to
Dalemain
in
the
snow.
January
3rd.--Sunday.
Mary
brought
us
letters
from
Sara
and
Coleridge
and
we
went
with
her
homewards
to
...
Parted
at
the
stile
on
the
Pooley
side.
Thomas
Wilkinson
dined
with
us
and
stayed
supper.
I
do
not
recollect
how
the
rest
of
our
time
was
spent
exactly.
We
had
a
very
sharp
frost
which
broke
on
Friday
the
15th
January,
or
rather
on
the
morning
of
Saturday
16th.
On
Sunday
the
17th
we
went
to
meet
Mary.
It
was
a
mild
gentle
thaw.
She
stayed
with
us
till
Friday,
22nd
January.
On
Thursday
we
dined
at
Mr.
Myers's,
and
on
Friday,
22nd,
we
parted
from
Mary.
Before
our
parting
we
sate
under
a
wall
in
the
sun
near
a
cottage
above
Stainton
Bridge.
The
field
in
which
we
sate
sloped
downwards
to
a
nearly
level
meadow,
round
which
the
Emont
flowed
in
a
small
half-circle
as
at
Lochleven.[44]
The
opposite
bank
is
woody,
steep
as
a
wall,
but
not
high,
and
above
that
bank
the
fields
slope
gently,
and
irregularly
down
to
it.
These
fields
are
surrounded
by
tall
hedges,
with
trees
among
them,
and
there
are
clumps
or
grovelets
of
tall
trees
here
and
there.
Sheep
and
cattle
were
in
the
fields.
Dear
Mary!
there
we
parted
from
her.
I
daresay
as
often
as
she
passes
that
road
she
will
turn
in
at
the
gate
to
look
at
this
sweet
prospect.
There
was
a
barn
and
I
think
two
or
three
cottages
to
be
seen
among
the
trees,
and
slips
of
lawn
and
irregular
fields.
During
our
stay
at
Mr.
Clarkson's
we
walked
every
day,
except
that
stormy
Thursday.
We
dined
at
Thomas
Wilkinson's
on
Friday
the
15th,
and
walked
to
Penrith
for
Mary.
The
trees
were
covered
with
hoar-frost--grasses,
and
trees,
and
hedges
beautiful;
a
glorious
sunset;
frost
keener
than
ever.
Next
day
thaw.
