Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of March 3, 1878

Overview

The arrival of Frau von Schleinitz brings lively conversation about a world that feels increasingly alien to the household. Evening reading, a strong article on Mimir, and concern over Loldi’s health give the day a mixed and social character.

Sunday, March 3:

Arrival of our amiable friend Frau v. Schleinitz, who intends to spend a few days near us. Much chatting about a world which seems ever stranger to us.

In the evening Waverley, not much to enjoy about the Highlanders. A very good article by a Herr Löffler on the legend of Mimir and its connection with the Ring des Nibelungen. Loldi unwell.
