Saturday, July 10, 1915 10h in the morning
And another week has gone by – and another
and another will go by – until finally
this horrific time will have come to an end. • B
9h30 in the evening
Today Egon was allowed to spend the whole
afternoon with me, • B. there are so many hours, and yet
the time is too short for us. – Today I’ve had a bad
feeling – it’s almost as if I feel afraid –
everything around me is so uncanny –
all this being alone – it becomes agony after a while.
