Evidence
1861-11-29: "25-29. This week I have read a satire of Juvenal, some of Cicero's De Officiis", part of Epictetus' Enchiridion, two cantos of Pulci, part of the Canti Carnascialeschi, and finished Manni's Veglie Piacevole, besides looking up various things in the classical antquities and peeping into Theocritus." Diary 1861-1877 105
1866-03-07: "March 7. Both of us have been benefited by change of weather - a week or so of frost - and by Dr. Brinton's prescriptions, but G. is still far from being comfortable in body. We have so much happiness in our love and uninterrupted companionship, that we must accept our miserable bodies as our share of mortal ill. Last night, at p. 374. I am reading Mill's Logic again, Theocritus still, and English History and Law." Diary 1861-1877 127
1869-08-01: "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 Littr 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
