Transcript
  • Friday Ap 16 A really hot day: walk to Gentillino. Orange tip butterfly, buttercups and things. Oxford University Press turned down dictionary “as too individual & personal... words cannot be put into strait jackets.” [(] Another example of tolerance of illiteracy for the sake of lexicographic richness) Tolerance. Heathen , according to R. Haas, well written but not exciting enough for the American public: only taking 100 copies To Lugano after supper, alone: Laura to bed early not feeling well. Lots of provincial English honeymooners admiring lake & coloured lights.
