It was already late and the white moon hung silently over the towers. The clouds had dispersed and it was clear and cool. Severin walked beneath the trees at Belvedere and breathed the damp air, in which he could already detect the smell of the coming spring. Below him the city lay in the valley. A few scattered lights were still burning in the distance, like the eyes of a sleepy animal. He was seized with horror. He thought of the thousands down below who, exactly like him, were helplessly entombed in joyless lives. He was overwhelmed by the memory of the people he had met and who, one after another, had gone astray. Karla, who desperately threw herself away for insidious pains; Konrad, over whose grave the earth was still settling; and Susanna, who would bear his child out of hatred for her father. A sorrow without equal tormented him. He looked into the shadows of the houses down below and saw his own form, wrapped in the riddles of death and love, restless in streets where thoughts of murder rose from the stony pavement and blinded his heart. He cried and his tears were pungent and corrosive like vinegar. He rammed his head against a tree-trunk and bit into the bark. The horrors of loneliness came to him and he longed for a face against which he could rest his own.
Suddenly it was as though two long-forgotten eyes looked at him in the darkness. A voice, fantastically beautiful and good, awoke in his memory and comforted him. He turned around and walked down the street that led to the bridge.
