In Marie's diary

  • 1874-07-01 (020.0491, Spa): to show off to a young man whose conversation pleases her, she steers a serious talk to «Xénophon, de Virgile, d'Homère, de l'ancienne société, des vérités anciennes, de philosophie», «je me suis déclarée amateur d'antiquités».
  • 1878-09-23 (082.0442): her Greek reading list: «Je connais Aristophane, Plutarque, Hérodote, un peu Xénophon et c'est je crois tout, Epictète encore ... Homère, je le connais très bien, un petit peu de Platon.»
