Diary Entry of April 13, 1873
Domestic quiet and personal affection dominate this holiday-like day. The user spends time on correspondence and family routines, including hiding eggs for the children, while Wagner expresses intense attachment in a brief but revealing remark. The evening reading reflects a shared, cultivated intimacy that balances the otherwise busy and public life around them.

To end with, we read Tieck’s preface to his Vorschule Shakespeares.
