Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of January 4, 1875

Overview

Her toothache becomes severe enough to drive her to drastic remedies, while R. reads aloud from Gfrorer's book and delights in its account of how different peoples imagine God. The day is marked less by comfort than by endurance, with illness pressing in on the household.

Bad toothache. Nice letter from Frau Lucca, also from the conductor Klughardt. R. reads me something from Gfrorer's book, his definition of how various nations visualize God, which is really excellent.

My toothache torments me so much that I resort to drastic measures, leeches, Kelosal, etc.
