Lovely night – moonlight. Heavy swell, cold miserable morning. Go to English on What is Poetry. Go to hammock after dinner. Too cold to sleep come up stairs straight after tea, write to M in a quatrain about my pretty one. I feel as if I must write like it feels. Go to bed at 11 pm sleep bonz. I see all frosted lights in morning Els had no sleep for 60 hours. Lovely moonlight night.
