Max Schneider Diary Entry Friday, 2 July 1943
In the evening, met Jean [Jean Phillips] in Glendale and after a somewhat hasty supper we drove to the summit of Mt. Wilson. The scenery was gorgeous, although there was quite a haze obscuring the valleys; 6000 feet is not very high, yet the purity of the atmosphere is decidedly exhilarating and the peace of the mountains is balm to my soul. This is Jean's first visit to this beauty spot and she is profoundly moved. A very enjoyable walk under the deodars in the starlight—Venus shines brighter than ever—and we find ourselves back in our cottage. Later, Mag. Op.: "I am uplifted in thine heart; and the kisses of the stars rain hard upon thy body".
