I have found an incredible treasure today – relics
of Francesco and Laura… I had to buy it. J’aime (I love) Sonnets to Laura
by Petrarch… I had to buy it. Even when its value is only sentimental.
Besides, languages are very systemic (well, every
langues is nothing but system), while I met a human today whom I could not
understand. No treasure of the world would make me understand. Was he speaking
Italian or French? Je
ne sais pas… (I do not know…) Example of real hate to conventions, I guess. But
also, so… mean? L’ignorance?
I love gardens. When I remind myself those
English gardens… I was truly delighted. I made few sketches. I will have to take
home with me few of those trends. Gardens at Stowe probably made a mark on my
brain the best… Huge it was. The must-see place. It was one of first spots we
visited just after we arrived in England. Trip from Gdansk was also
fascinating. I did not feel so terrible on seas… Two weeks of constant movements…
But views always kept my heart in its hands endlessly. William was unspeakably
bored, always played cards with the second William, but he was only throwing
cards on the floor, what was only making my beloved man impatient and
irritated. I was enjoying clouds reflecting on the water surface probably every
day. Whereas Mary was running over Rosie on the board or she was running over my
dear daughter. Just for us this cruise was organised aussi (too). At first
sightseeing of Baltic Sea (only visually), isles of Denmark, and North Sea at
the end. This is how first step of our trip looked like.
Funny story. My name is known even in Rome! That
is not only because of my position de la société (of society). People heard about
my carnival theatre play here! This comedy-drama is appreciated here. Outstanding
newspaper writers even wrote about it. And Lost Poets’ Forest was a
wonderful adventure. I invited the greatest guests to our palace and whole family
played in it. I was a Princess; William was a Prince and Mary played a Mermaid.
My prince also played piano during other scenes. I was proud to hear his
romantic music and other actors did a good job too. I saw my vision coming alive.
It was in 100% the way I imagined it. Proud, proud, really proud of my little
work of art.
I think these little memories are enough tonight.
I am going to bed. Until next time!
