Solitude and love in Sophia's long union with Carlo
In a diary excerpt from Sophia in Paris she defends a long marriage to Carlo, admires his intellect and steadiness, and explains their different temperaments, work lives, and shared solitude. She describes his night-long work hours, his antisocial nature, and her own tolerance, plus the couple's public scrutiny and its toll on their private life.
