Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of April 8, 1877

Overview

The day passed with exercise, family conversation about Loldchen’s departure, and more emotional distance around Frau Dr. Herz taking in the child. In the evening, a reading choice was abandoned midway because the other listener had no patience for it, and the writer turned instead to Plutarch with Daniella.

Content

Sunday, April 8:

Gymnastic exercises; discussion concerning Loldchen's going away and the departure of Frau Dr. Herz, who now, so much a stranger to me, is to have my dearest one with her.

In the evening I picked up Karl Ritter's Der milde Welf. R. wishes to hear no more, and I ended it by myself. Began Plutarch with Daniella.
