Anais spends a lot of time in this entry speaking of her brother Joaquin and his music. She says, "It was he as a musician who accomplished what I dreamed of, and I followed as well as I could with the inferior power of words. The ear is purer than the eye, which reads only relative meaning into words. Whereas the distillation of experience into pure sound, a state of music, is timeless and absolute."
Anais admires her brother's character and says, "He drew his strength from his love, never from hatred, and later is was his capacity for love, understanding, and forgiveness which kept the family from estrangements. He was always trying to reunite and reconstruct the family unit. He never took sides, judged, or turned a hostile back on anyone."
