When Nietzsche Wept Page #3

---

I have been betrayed.

First, there was the

composer, Richard Wagner,

I have suffered

because of him,

and later,

my best friend...

with that... woman.

Tell me more

about that... woman.

And why?

It's connected

to your illness.

Trust me

on this.

I cannot afford

to... trust... again.

Then I believe,

Herr Professor,

that we can proceed

no further.

Have a safe

journey home, Herr Professor.

Stupid animal!

Hey, out!

Leave the horse alone!

Leave it! Leave it, I tell you!

Are you alright?

Oan we meet... again?

Friday afternoon,

same time?

Good night.

Breathe deeply, Bertha.

Did you have any dreams last night?

Yes. I dreamt you

were making love to me.

Really?

Yes.

I'm just going to

examine you, don't worry.

It's perfectly normal.

What are you

doing? No!

I want you!

You are mine!

No, Josef!

No, Josef!

How could you?!

Mathilde!

What are

you doing?!

That is horrible!

Horrible!!

Dr. Breuer! You are now a free man.

Go back, you syphilitic

whore! He's mine!

No!

He's mine!

M ine!

He is mine!

He's mine!

No!

He's mine!

"There was a time in our lives

"when we were

so close

"that nothing seemed to

obstruct our friendship.

"When only a footprint separated us.

"I asked you, ' Do you want to

cross the footbridge to me? '

But you did

not want to."

What do you make

of it, Siggy?

I'm not sure.

Let's reason it out. The first

man can no longer cross because

he feels he is submitting

his power to the other person.

Yes. Yes.

You're right.

He interprets any expression

of positive sentiment

as a bid

for power.

It makes it almost impossible

to get close to him I

It's all here.

May I see it?

And reveal

his identity?

And why not?

Perhaps if you lend

this book to Siggy

you won't hide in your

study all night reading it.

Mathilde, stop.

What am I to do

when I watch you

withdraw more and more

from me and the children?

First that woman!

Now this N ietzsche!

Friedrich N ietzsche?

To this day I regret listening to you.

The transfer of Bertha to another doctor

remains one of the

great shames of my life!

Excellent books.

Very few copies

of them sold.

Then your publisher is a fool

for not championing these

with his life's blood.

You're writing in short

and brief sentences.

It is my ambition to

say in ten sentences

what others

say in a whole book.

H m.

As to

your migraines,

I believe their fundamental

cause lies in stress.

Due to upsetting events

in your work, your family,

your personal

relationships.

I've given

up teaching.

I have no home

to look after,

no wife to

quarrel with,

no children

to discipline.

I have no obligations to anyone.

I have no stress.

Your extreme isolation
