Self-Abasement.

Today, children, I committed a grave wrong; I offended our friend . . something I never wish to do again, considering it the blackest of sins. We were speaking of Beethoven’s I Minor symphony, and I wilfully insisted on a tempo which I felt to be right.

This astonished and offended R, and now we are both suffering … I for having done it, he for having experienced wilfulness at my hands.

I ask him whether I should read Schopenhauer. He advises me against it: a woman should approach philosophy through a man, a poet.

I am in complete agreement.
