Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of August 27, 1877

Overview

Richard had a troubling dream, yet resumed work and remained warmly attentive, repeatedly expressing how much joy she gave him. Their evening reading shifted to Herodotus, though part of the entry is too obscure to recover fully.

Content

Monday, August 27:

R. had a wild dream about Herr Niemann, etc.; but he works, and I, too, in my trivial way. R. is very kind, cannot tell me often enough how much pleasure I give him!

In the evening we start on Herodotus. A scarcely decipherable and consequently unintelligible sentence about another book omitted.
