- Ap 29 Thursday. On the San Salvatore mountain violets, small periwinkle, vetch: yellow- & red, red & blue, yellow & white. Swallow-tail, high brown, Camberwell beauty, sulpher sulphur butterflies. Brought back a bunch of blossom a sort of wild apple but with pointed petals and a mole – I must have killed it by mistake on the path on the way up – brought home on a long Spanish-chestnut leaf. It had a grass in its mouth. Finished draft of Chapter 2. Ghosts . Checked some of Laura's poems. Walk to Lugano in the evening, avoided a cinema, ices & a grenadine at Gambrinus. Auden sent proposed encomium for Laura's poems, requested by Random House. Laura replied to him.
