The day shown

Sils-Maria · 1881

Nietzsche described these habits in a letter from Sils-Maria dated 24 August 1881. Meals and rest punctuated days with five to seven hours of exercise. The calendar places that walking time approximately; the letter describes a repeated pattern, not only the day it was written.
