Dickson, Samuel

New York: Redfield, 1845

1845

"Aug. 1. Since last Sunday I have had an uncomfortable week from mental and bodily disturbance. I have finished eleven Sonnets on "Brother and Sister", read Littre, Nisard; part of 22nd Idyll of Theocritus, Sainte Beuve aloud to G. two evenings. On Thursday: the evening was occupied with Gertrude and Charles, Monday evening with looking through Dickson's Fallacies of the Faculty. On Tuesday afternoon we went to the British Museum to see a new bronze, and I was enchanted with some fragments of glass in the Slade Collection, with dyes of sunset in them. Yesterday, sitting in Thornie's room I read through all Shakspeare's sonnets. Poor Thornie has had a miserably unsatisfactory week, making no progress. After lunch came Miss N. Smith and Miss Blythe, Mr. Burton, Mr. and Mrs. Burne Jones and Mr. Sanderson." Diary 1861-1877 137
