Byron and Shelley chronicle their 1816 sailing trip in Lake Geneva — Days 8/9, June 29th/30th.

Percy Shelley, History of a Six Weeks' Tour:

“On Saturday the 30th of June we quitted Ouchy, and after two days of pleasant sailing arrived on Sunday evening at Montalegre.”

And thus concludes their tour around the lake.

UPDATE: I took my dates from Shelley, but his dates must have been confused and Byron's must be more accurate. Because I'd been confused by Byron's dates in the past, since he often wrote past midnight (thus often referring his prior day as "today"), I had assumed Shelley was more trustworthy. According to Shelley and His Circle vol. 4 pp. 700-701, they left on June 22nd which was a Saturday, and so I believe each day of their trip would be one earlier than I and Shelley stated in these posts.

Hier on est allé à Yvoire en passant par le bord du lac jusqu’à Nernier, au pied de propriétés de dingue, presque toutes flanquées d’une baraque aux volets fermés, inertes, vides. Ça me faisait le même effet que dans la « chambre verte » de mes parents (nommée ainsi à cause de la tapisserie et de sa fonction aléatoire) et ça me le refait maintenant: j’ai mon ventre qui se met à gargouiller et j’ai besoin d’aller me vider. Sans réussir à identifier ce qu’il se passe. J’aimerais habiter là, et je ne sais pas comment faire. On dirait des lieux neutres, détachés, isolés. De possibles chambres vides, sans rien, sans complexité, sans complications. Je les regarde avec le désir d’y être, qu’elles m’appartiennent, de pouvoir y loger, y être, y rester. La chambre verte, il y avait quelque chose d’une envie d’y faire ma chambre, ou un bureau, un lieu parfaitement détaché du reste du monde. Le cagibi aussi, des grottes où me retirer seul, tranquille, parfaitement tranquille. Mais ce n’est pas possible. Et de toute manière mon ventre m’empêche même d’y penser seulement, il se défait. Je n’ai jamais mieux compris ce qu’il se passait: une terrible envie d’être là et le corps qui m’en empêche.

Byron and Shelley chronicle their 1816 sailing trip in Lake Geneva — Day 5, June 27th — preview: they see the castle of Clarens, gather roses together, go back to “Julie’s” woods, Shelley rants about religion, and they sail along the coasts on to Vevai.

Percy Shelley, History of a Six Weeks' Tour:

“On the following day we went to see the castle of Clarens, a square strong house, with very few windows, surrounded by a double terrace that overlooks the valley, or rather the plain of Clarens. The road which conducted to it wound up the steep ascent through woods of walnut and chesnut. We gathered roses on the terrace, in the feeling that they might be the posterity of some planted by Julia's hand. We sent their dead and withered leaves to the absent.

We went again to ‘the bosquet de Julie,’ and found that the precise spot was now utterly obliterated, and a heap of stones marked the place where the little chapel had once stood. Whilst we were execrating the author of this brutal folly, our guide informed us that the land belonged to the convent of St. Bernard, and that this outrage had been committed by their orders. I knew before, that if avarice could harden the hearts of men, a system of prescriptive religion has an influence far more inimical to natural sensibility. I know that an isolated man is sometimes restrained by shame from outraging the venerable feelings arising out of the memory of genius, which once made nature even lovelier than itself; but associated man holds it as the very sacrament of his union to forswear all delicacy, all benevolence, all remorse, all that is true, or tender, or sublime.

We sailed from Clarens to Vevai. Vevai is a town more beautiful in its simplicity than any I have ever seen. Its market-place, a spacious square interspersed with trees, looks directly upon the mountains of Savoy and La Valais, the lake, and the valley of the Rhone. It was at Vevai that Rousseau conceived the design of Julie.

From Vevai we came to Ouchy, a village near Lausanne. The coasts of the Pays de Vaud, though full of villages and vineyards, present an aspect of tranquillity and peculiar beauty which well compensates for the solitude which I am accustomed to admire. The hills are very high and rocky, crowned and interspersed with woods. Water-falls echo from the cliffs, and shine afar. In one place we saw the traces of two rocks of immense size, which had fallen from the mountain behind. One of these lodged in a room where a young woman was sleeping, without injuring her. The vineyards were utterly destroyed in its path, and the earth torn up.”

UPDATE: I took my dates from Shelley, but his dates must have been confused and Byron's must be more accurate. Because I'd been confused by Byron's dates in the past, since he often wrote past midnight (thus often referring his prior day as "today"), I had assumed Shelley was more trustworthy. According to Shelley and His Circle vol. 4 pp. 700-701, they left on June 22nd which was a Saturday, and so I believe each day of their trip would be one earlier than I and Shelley stated in these posts.
