Steppenwolf Page #3

for another person, I apologize...

My dear Mr. Haller!...

Somebody told me you were already here Why didn't you tell us?

Are you going to stay here for long?

No, I'm staying here only for a few days?

Therefore I was informed correctly.

Well, yes... I...

Oh, you are already here!...

Look what I've read in this newspaper,

this miserable Haller!

Who's this? An author?

An author?! ...Oh, how kind are you! no!

A publicist and a very rotten one.

A publicist who must be a

poor devil without country

somebody who's slashing the Kaiser.

Here, read it yourself.

Maybe he should base himself

on real facts, here it is...

He says our fatherland is not less

responsible for the outbreak of war

than its enemies.

Oh, let's go to the table, please...

- Thanks...

Something strange happened to me today.

Really?!

Yes... I was going out of the library

I had nothing in mind

in that precise moment

I was descending the stairs...

on my way to the suburbs, when suddenly...

...I saw a group of people

like in a procession...

it was a funeral...

Oh my god!

Do you feel alright my love!

Sorry... it was just a thought...

...I apologize.

I pray for a hero to be born...

a miraculous birth not to be excluded...

able to penetrate the minuscule details...

the contours of our archetype

that filters outside...

the apocalypse is our only hope.

I understand.

Let us hope that Goethe did not really look like this.

This conceited air of nobility...

the great man ogling the

distinguished company...

and beneath the manly exterior what

a world of charming sentimentality!

Certainly there is much to say against him.

Oh, my god!

Darling do you feel alright?!

He sure would renounce to your company...

this is really lamentable.

I have to retire.

That bust of Goethe belongs to my wife, it's

one of her most treasured possessions...

believe me...

It is our more cherished cultural heritage.

These objects are representations of our gods.

...I am really sorry.

You should've been a bit more correct...

you shouldn't have expressed yourself

in such a way about the subject.

It is a habit, a vice of mine,

always to speak up my mind...

as indeed Goethe did too

in his better moments.

I do apologize to you and to your wife.

Please, tell her I am an schizophrenic

and now if you let me,

it is time for me to go

but, you haven't finished your coffee!

It stimulates our discussions...

Your opinions on Mithras e Krishna

have left a deep impression on me...

I was expecting today we could have

a chance to raise this subject.

I'm grateful you say that but my interest

about Krishna have completely vanished.

As well as my taste for

erudite conversation.
