Cosima's Diaries
Diary Entry of October 21, 1869
Overview
Siegfried remains ill after a wretched night, while Cosima spends the morning with the children and Richard orchestrates without pleasure. A walk, Loldi trouble, children's tea, and further difficulties with Siegfried make the day narrow and heavy. The entry is brief but saturated with fatigue and care.
