SOMERSET NOTIONS OF A POET.—Mr. Wordsworth had
taken the Allfoxden House, near Stowey, for one rear
(during the minority of the heir) ; and the reason why he
was refused a continuance by the ignorant man who had
the letting of it, arose, as Mr. Coleridge informed me,
from a whimsical cause, or rather a series of cafes. The
wiseacres of the village had, it seemed, made Mr. W. the
subject of their serious conversation, One said that " lie
had seen him wander about by night, and look rather
strangely at the moon ! and then he roamed over the hills
like a partridge." Another said, "He had heard him
mutter, as he walked, in some outlandish brogue, that no-
body could undertand !" Another said, " It's useless to
talk, Thomas, I think he is what people call a wise man' "
(a conjuror). Another said, " You are every one of you
wrong. . I know what he is. We have all seen him
trampinf, away toward the sea. Would any man in his
senses take all that trouble to look at a parcel of water ? I
think he carries on a snug business in the smuggling line,
and, in these journeys, is on the look out for some wee
cargo !" Another very significantly said, " I know that
he has got a private still in his cellar, for I once passed
his house, at a little better than a hundred yards' distance,
and I could smell the spirits, as plain as all ashen faggott
at Christmas !" Another said, However that was, he is
surely a desperd French jacobin, - f - he is so silent and
RtMiiii*C(9lM of Coleridge and
dark, that nobody ever heard him saT one word about po-
