Chapter III

“Dear! I don’t feel well at all, somehow:
Few in Weimar dream how bad I am;
Floods of tears grow common with me now,
High-Dutch floods that Reason cannot dam.
Doctors think I’ll neither live nor thrive
If I mope at home so--I don’t know--
_Am_ I living _now_? I _was_ alive
Twenty golden years ago.
