Friday, May 30:
Numerous farewells! R. addresses fine words to my father as we leave, and I thank him from my very soul for having undertaken this journey, which he did purely for my sake.
Nice journey home. It seems shorter; the little Thuringian towns appeal to me strongly, and a deep and fervent love of Germany stirs within me—it is the only country in which one can live!
Arrival in Bayreuth at ten o’clock. Everybody asleep, but well; we are home again!
