Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of December 7, 1872

Overview

Rain hangs over the day, and they only manage a short walk before continuing on to Bremen. Public curiosity about Wagner follows them again, but the evening arrival is orderly, with theater representatives meeting them at the station. The entry is brief and mostly transitional, marking another stop on the road.
