Cosima Wagner Diaries

R. always tells me a lot from Gfrörer’s book, which interests him endlessly; e.g., among other things, the definition of the Trinity, which was established shortly before Christ’s birth – God the Father, masculine; the Holy spirit, feminine; the Saviour of the world from which the world came into being; will, representation and world, the separation of the sexes as the creation of the world. –

 I’m writing to Baron Hofmann[1] about the concerts. In the evening the kind mayor, who is always great to talk to.


[1] Baron Hofmann (Leopold Friedrich Freiherr von Hofmann), Austrian Diplomat, from 1880 General Director of the Court Theater Vienna.

On the same day, an anonymous writer from St. Pölten wrote this poem for Richard (Original: ➝ Richard Wagner Stiftung).
