I have always been a fugitive and a vagabond. For a thousand years none of our family has remained anywhere without growing uneasy, without being seized by wanderlust. I am at home in no house and in no country.

The Plumpes have always been aloof, have always designed their own worlds. My father left a thriving business and went his own way, bought a magnificent estate at Wilhelmshöhe, with land, hunting, a carriage, and a horse. We children were delighted. The garden had everything we could wish for—a grotto, a ruin, a secret pond, a giant stone, a trapeze. It was a miniature paradise.

Bernhard was the first to visit me in Berlin after I’d cut off communication. The first night I joked with him about Father letting his youngest son out in Sodom, and he told me he’d been strictly forbidden to move in my “circles.” When we met Spiess by accident, Bernhard took his leave, and did not meet me as planned the next morning.

I am both my father and Something Else, and remain mute before the ongoing miracle of the coexistence of the two.
