Cosima's Diaries

Diary Entry of April 19, 1870

Overview

Cosima remains unwell but keeps up correspondence with Nietzsche and spends the day embroidering. Wagner works while fine weather lets the children stay in the garden. The entry’s brevity conveys a pause in the larger storms, with illness, work, and household routine held in quiet balance.
