A lovely day all this.
But the inner darkness diminishes not.
Many letters.
Worked at colouring Zagóri & other sketches.
Went to AT’s at 2. Talk of the Welds ― C.W. is a bore. ― Warburton ― (who married one of the 3 Listers ―) was there for a short time.
Walked with Mr. Dakyns, ― the Downs & sea lovely. Dined at AT’s. ἡ ὁμιλία του εἶναι πολὺ ἂσχημος ― ἐπειτα ἀπὸ τὸ γεῦμα ― διὰ τὸ νὰ εἶναι πτωχός ― καὶ χαλασμένος κ.τ.λ.1
Moonlight.
Back by 11.
bright sun all day
