Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of November 30, 1877

Overview

R. has a good night and returns to work, while the weather remains damp enough to make the walk feel less refreshing than the conversation. Thoughts drift back to Tribschen and past walks there, and the evening ends with more Shakespeare after a contented return home.

Friday, November 30:

R. had a good night and he works, killing off the swan!

Unfortunately the weather is still damp and gloomy, so that our walk provides no refreshment beyond the pleasures of our conversation. We thought of Tribschen, our walks there, the hedgehog which we once encountered. We are then pleased with the house when we return home.

In the evening the first two acts of Henry VI, Part III.
