XV
WHITHER?
Six months have passed, and I still go daily
walking on the city wall and survey the lunatic
asylum, and catch glimpses of the blue sea in the
distance. Thence will the new epoch, the new
religion, come of which the world is dreaming.
Gloomy winter is buried, the meadows are
green, the trees are in blossom, the nightingale
sings in the garden of the observatory, but a
wintry sadness still weighs upon our spirits, for
so many weird and inexplicable things have
happened, that even the most incredulous waver.
The general sleeplessness increases, nervous
breakdowns are common, apparitions are matters
of every day, and real miracles happen.
People are expecting something.
*
A young man pays me a visit, and asks,
“What must one do in order to sleep quietly
at night?”
“Why?”
