Surely I need say no more to you, or, more correctly, I rather would need you to be able to say more, to express clearly and intelligently what my groping thoughts can only frantically intimate.

If I were to relate everything fully, my letter would be exceedingly long, at least as long as a bad year and as long as the days of which it is said: I have no pleasure in them.9 But I do have one advantage: I can stop anywhere, just as I can clip at any time the thread I am myself spinning. And with this, God speed you! He who believes in existence [Tilværelsen] is well insured; he will achieve everything, just [III 230] as surely as the man hides his feelings who holds a hat without a crown in front of his face when he prays.

Sir! I have the honor etc.

—Yes, whether I will or not,

I still remain,

Your

devoted, nameless friend10
