1840-10-01: George Eliot to Maria Lewis, Griff, 1 October 1840. "I have made an alteration in my plans with Mr. Brezzi, and shall henceforward take Italian and German alternately so that I shall not be liable to the consciousness of having imperative employment for every interstice of time. There seems a greater affinity between German and my mind than Italian, though less new to me, possesses. I am reading Schiller's Maria Stuart and Tasso. I was pleased with a little poem I learnt a week or two ago in German, and as I want you to like it I have just put the idea it contains into English doggrel which quite fails to represent the beautiful simplicity and nature of the original, but yet I hope will give you sufficiently its sense to screen the odiousness of the translation." GEL 1: 69.
1854-12-16: "Began Tasso aloud. G. read two acts of As You Like It'." Diary 1854-1861 38
