Cosima's Diaries

Overview

Bad weather keeps the children near the garden while Cosima and Richard think only of their love. Nietzsche writes kindly, the student begins geology with them, and town errands turn comic when Richard and Cosima miss each other. She finally locates him by hearing the Ninth Symphony theme whistled.

Monday, October 18:

Again wretched weather, the children in the garden; R. and I thinking only of our love. Letter from Prof. Nietzsche, very nice.

After lunch the student, with whom we are starting on some geology. In town we miss R., each running in search of the other; in the end I hear the first theme of the 9th Symphony being whistled.
