Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Diary of a Superfluous Man: And Other Stories The doctor has just left me. At last I have got at something definite! For all his cunning, he had to speak out at last. Yes, I am soon, very soon, to die. The frozen rivers will break up, and with the last snow I shall, most likely, swim away ... whither? God knows! To the ocean too. Well, well, since one must die, one may as well die in the spring. But isn´t it absurd to begin a diary a fortnight, perhaps, before death? What does it matter? And by how much are fourteen days less than fourteen years, fourteen centuries? Beside eternity, they say, all is nothingness - yes, but in that case eternity, too, is nothing. I see I am letting myself drop into metaphysics; that´s a bad sign - am I not rather faint-hearted, perchance? I had better begin a description of some sort. It´s damp and windy out of doors.
