1854-11-11: "Saturday. I read Heine's poems; wrote a few recollections of Weimar and translated Genealogical Tables of the Goethe family. Then we went to call on Fraulein von Solmar, who was exceedingly agreeable, and invited me to visit her when I pleased of an evening. Walked to the Wilhelmsplatz and Leipziger Platz, for the first time. In the evening went to see "Nathan der Weise". The Theatre very elegant and comfortable. Doring as Nathan excellent. The Patriarch immensely comic- "Es thut nichts, der Jude wird verbrannt", the essence of the dogmatic spirit. Both thrilled by the grandeur of the sentiments. I felt that it was a noble inspiration which dictated such writing. The scenery was excellent, particularly a street in Jerusalem and the garden in the last scene. The sky was grand on our way to the theatre - the stars bright on a sable field. I began Lessing's Laocoon in bed." Diary 1854-1861 34
1854-12-22: "Friday. Scherr, Spinoza, walk in the rain. Began Lessing's Hamburgische Briefe at dinner. Read aloud Heine's "Gotter im Exil" and some of his poems. G read Lear. Copied out some translation for G." Diary 1854-1861 40
