Friday, July 26:
Today we are still feeling pleased with Fidi’s good behavior yesterday. R. works on his corrections; excessive heat, Loldi’s eye still not better. R. also attends to business matters, Voltz, etc. Herr Rubinstein in the evening, but there is no music-making.
Today I packed the three Lenbach pictures and had to admit laughingly to R. that I found the bare wall restful; everything that is truly art affects me so powerfully that I am sometimes almost afraid of coming into contact with it, and these three pictures are true works of art.
