Document

Torsdag 9 Juni; fik Brev fra Christian! var atter paa Billedgalleriet. – Om Eftermiddagen saae jeg det ødelagte Raadhuus, spadserede paa Brühls-Terasser og var i Selskab hos Dahl med to unge Tydskere, Aal og Faye. Vi fik ordentlig Aftensmad, ikke poetisk, som hos Tieck, med Thevand og
Poesie. – Dahl bad mig at skrive i sin Stambog, hvor Tieck, Thorvaldsen og Göthe havde skrevet. Han forærede os hver 2 Skizzer, og tegnede i Hast den ene en Gran, den anden en Bøg med en Bautasteen, mig derimod »en Pige«. Kl: var 10 ½, dog fandt jeg godt Hjem, Løven var mit Fyrtaarn. –

Oversættelse af dokument

Thursday June 9^th; had a letter from Christian! Was again at the picture gallery. – In the afternoon I saw the wrecked town hall, took a walk on Brühl’s-Terrasses and at Dahl’s was in company with two young Germans, Aal and Faye. We had a proper supper, not poetic as at Tieck’s, with tea and
poetry. – Dahl asked me to write in his album, where Tieck, Thorvaldsen and Göthe had written. He gave each of us two sketches and quickly drew one of us a fir, the other a beech with a piece of a menhir, me, however, »a girl«. It was half past 10, but I came home well, the lion was my lighthouse. –
