- March 23 Tuesday. Sunny day. Going over poems still, rewriting. A walk to Gentillino. Windflowers, primroses, white violets, & the white crocus, first buttercup I have seen for years. I had a beer in a small inn up there with copper pans – pewter measures. On the way wrote Victory on a piece of paper I found in a hedge: two more drafts. To Lugano – 18 francs for invisible mending of my jacket. Laura bought me a mug 1.80 [francs] for my pencils; 12 table mats 80 [centimes] each. Supper at Gambrinus – hors d'ouvres, goulash. On the way back mentally rearranged Canellun. To Emmi's at 8.30. They were drinking wine & quarrelling over a red leather purse they were making. Read Leonard Merrick's Conrad in search of his Youth .
