Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of September 2, 1875

Overview

Sedan celebrations are dampened by heavy rain, though the children brighten the annex by illuminating their room and entertaining everyone with their delight. Later, a walk to the theater leads to discussion of Parzival and the Holy Grail, which R. interprets as having developed outside the church as a peaceful release from it.

Thursday, September 2:

Sedan celebrations, very wet! The children illuminate their room in the annex and constantly delight us with their merriment.

Walk with R. to the theater; in the evening San-Marte on Parzival; R. comes to the conclusion that the Holy Grail evolved entirely outside the church as a peaceful disengagement from it.
