An Cornelia Goethe 11. 5. 1766 (WA IV 1, 50)
Leipzig Anf. Mai 1766
My Born and his Tutor and I, when we are assembled we speak nothing then english. I learn much by that conversation ... Many time I become a melancholical one ... Then I go in woods, to streams ... And then a darkness comes down my soul, a darkness as thik as fogs in the October are. Often has Horn the great honnour to follow me, I go Tete a tete, with him in the gardens. A male Tete a tete!
