Transcript

• July 4 Sunday. A.G. came for a goodbye in the morning. I wrote a long letter to L.H. about Ghost of Napoleon , with remarks on right & wrong use of metaphor, rewriting a metaphorical passage in unmetaphorical language. Laura, with contentment about Seizin plans now. Karl with a book to read about Turkey: Allah Dethroned. I got up for the first time. Pins & needles in my feet, aches in my legs. First draft of a poem “ To break Delight ”.
