1849

"Friday 19. Still very poorly. The cold more and more intense. Tried reading the 2nd Part of Faust aloud, but gave it up, as it was too difficult for G. to follow it rapidly enough. Read a little of Gervinus on Shakspeare, but found it unsatisfactory. Read some of Stahr's "Ein Jahr in Italien". The description of Florence excellent. Midsummer Night's Dream. Very poorly all day." Diary 1854-1861 43
