Scope and content
Welcombe, Stratford on Avon. - Very glad to welcome Elizabeth and Julian yesterday, who both seemed well and happy; Julian seems to have come on very well since they last say him, 'easily to lend himself to be amused, and well able to amuse himself'; he was full of a play which [Thomas Sturge] Moore had written for the household to act, and 'declaimed the Prologue with great vigour'. The weather has been vile, and the Avon is so flooded that it makes him think 'with pathetic apprehension, to the Seine': the Parisians have suffered enough. Is doing a lot of reading: has just finished Theocritus, and finds him 'as delightful, but somewhat more still than of old'; discusses editions of the text; likes the Epigrams more than Macaulay did, and the one on Archilochus made him think of Robert.
