N. N.
Gracefully and quietly dost thou walk along the path of life, without tears and without smiles, barely animated by an indifferent attention.
Thou art kind and clever … and everything is alien to thee—and no one is necessary to thee.
Thou art very beautiful—and no one can tell whether thou prizest thy beauty or not.—Thou art devoid of sympathy thyself and demandest no sympathy.
Thy gaze is profound, and not thoughtful; emptiness lies in that bright depth.
Thus do the stately shades pass by without grief and without joy in the
Elysian Fields, to the dignified sounds of Gluck’s melodies.
November, 1879.
