Wednesday, August 23:
Die Walküre, Siegfried, Götterdämmerung proceed undisturbed. I miss the first act of Die Walküre, being over-tired; but for the second act R. comes himself to fetch me, saying he cannot bear my not being there.

Overview
The performances of Walküre, Siegfried, and Götterdämmerung continued without interruption, though I was too exhausted to catch the first act of Die Walküre. In the second act, R. came himself to fetch me, saying he could not bear my absence.
