Reading
Nietzsche
Reading
Nietzsche.
What
splendid
physic
he
is
to
Pomeranian
puppies
like
myself!
I
am
a
hopeless
coward.
Thunderstorms
always
frighten
me.
The
smallest
cut
alarms
for
fear
of
blood
poisoning,
and
I
always
dab
on
antiseptics
at
once.
But
Nietzsche
makes
me
feel
a
perfect
mastiff.
The
Test
for
True
Love
The
test
for
true
love
is
whether
you
can
endure
the
thought
of
cutting
your
sweetheart's
toe-nails--the
onychiotomic
test.
Or
whether
you
find
your
Julia's
sweat
as
sweet
as
otto
of
roses.
I
told
her
this
to-night.
Probably
she
thinks
I
only
"saw
it
in
a
book."
Chopin
On
Sunday,
went
to
the
Albert
Hall,
and
warmed
myself
at
the
Orchestra.
It
is
a
wonderful
sight
to
watch
an
orchestra
playing
from
the
gallery.
It
spurts
and
flickers
like
a
flame.
Its
incessant
activity
arrests
the
attention
and
holds
it
just
as
a
fire
does--even
a
deaf
man
would
be
fascinated.
Heard
Chopin's
Funeral
March
and
other
things.
It
would
be
a
rich
experience
to
be
able
to
be
in
your
coffin
at
rest
and
listen
to
Chopin's
Funeral
March
being
played
above
you
by
a
string
orchestra
with
Sir
Henry
Wood
conducting.
Sir
Henry
like
a
melanic
Messiah
was
crucified
as
usual,
the
Hungarian
Rhapsody
No.
2
causing
him
the
most
awful
agony....
November
28.
Rodin
More
than
once
lately
have
been
to
see
and
admire
Rodin's
recent
gifts
to
the
nation
exhibited
at
the
Victoria
and
Albert
Museum.
The
"Prodigal
Son"
is
Beethoven's
Fifth
Symphony
done
in
stone.
It
was
only
on
my
second
visit
that
I
noticed
the
small
pebble
in
each
hand--a
superb
touch!--what
a
frenzy
of
remorse!
