candle´light disappearedseemed to melt away into a background of light�察�
the green serpent with the diamond eyes remaining a dark image on the 
retina。    Then     I  had   a  sense    of  my   eyelids    quivering�察   �and   the   living 
daylight broke in upon me�察�I saw gardens�察�and heard voices�察�I was seated 
on the steps of the Belvedere Terrace�察�and my friends were round me。 
     The   tumult   of   mind   into   which   I   was   thrown   by   this   hideous   vision 
made     me    ill  for  several   days�察  �and   prolonged      our  stay   at  Vienna。     I 
shuddered       with   horror    as  the   scene   recurred    to   me�察  �and   it  recurred 
constantly�察�with all its minutiae�察�as if they had been burnt into my memory�察�
and yet�察�such is the madness of the human heart under the influence of its 
immediate desires�察�I felt a wild hell´braving joy that Bertha was to be mine�察�
for the fulfilment of my former prevision concerning her first appearance 
before me�察�left me little hope that this last hideous glimpse of the future 
was   the   mere   diseased   play   of   my   own   mind�察  �and   had   no   relation   to 
external realities。      One thing alone I looked towards as a possible means 
of casting doubt on my terrible convictionthe discovery that my vision of 
Prague had been falseand Prague was the next city on our route。 
     Meanwhile�察  �I   was   no   sooner   in   Bertha's   society   again   than   I   was   as 
pletely   under   her   sway   as   before。      What   if   I   saw   into   the   heart   of 
Bertha�察�the matured womanBertha�察�my wife�拭                  �Bertha�察�the GIRL�察�was a 
fascinating     secret   to  me   still�此 �I   trembled    under    her   touch�察  �I  felt  the 
witchery of her presence�察�I yearned to be assured of her love。                 The fear of 
poison is feeble against the sense of thirst。 Nay�察�I was just as jealous of my 
brother as beforejust as much irritated by his small patronizing ways�察�for 
my pride�察�my diseased sensibility�察�were there as they had always been�察�and 
winced      as   inevitably   under   every   offence   as     my   eye    winced   from   an 
intruding   mote。       The   future�察  �even   when   brought   within   the   pass   of 
feeling by a vision that made me shudder�察�had still no more than the force 
of   an   idea�察  �pared   with   the   force   of   present   emotionof   my   love   for 
Bertha�察�of my dislike and jealousy towards my brother。 
     It is an old story�察�that men sell themselves to the tempter�察�and sign a 
bond   with   their  blood�察  �because   it   is   only  to   take   effect   at   a   distant   day�察�
then rush on to snatch the cup their souls thirst after with an impulse not 
the less savage because there is a dark shadow beside them for evermore。 
There   is    no   short   cut�察 �no   patent   tram´road�察    �to  wisdom�此      �after   all  the 
centuries of invention�察 �the soul's   path lies through the thorny  wilderness 
which must be still trodden in solitude�察�with bleeding feet�察�with sobs for 
help�察�as it was trodden by them of old time。 
     My mind speculated eagerly on the means by which I should bee 
my brother's successful rival�察�for I was still too timid�察�in my ignorance of 
Bertha's actual feeling�察�to venture on any step that would urge from her an 
avowal   of   it。    I   thought   I   should   gain   confidence   even   for   this�察  �if   my 
vision of Prague proved to have been veracious�察�and yet�察�the horror of that 
certitude�      �Behind the slim girl Bertha�察�whose words and looks I watched 
for�察  �whose   touch   was   bliss�察  �there   stood   continually   that   Bertha   with   the 
fuller form�察�the harder eyes�察�the more rigid mouthwith the barren�察�selfish 
soul laid bare�察�no longer a fascinating secret�察�but a measured fact�察�urging 
itself perpetually on my unwilling sight。 Are you unable to give me your 
sympathyyou   who   react   this�拭        �Are   you   unable   to   imagine   this   double 
consciousness   at   work   within   me�察  �flowing   on   like   two   parallel   streams 
which never mingle their waters and blend into a mon hue�拭                         �Yet you 
must   have   known   something   of   the   presentiments   that   spring   from   an 
insight at war with passion�察�and my visions were only like presentiments 
intensified to horror。        You have known the powerlessness of ideas before 
the   might   of   impulse�察  �and   my   visions�察  �when   once   they   had   passed   into 
memory�察�were mere ideaspale shadows that beckoned in vain�察�while my 
hand was grasped by the living and the loved。 
     In    after´days    I  thought     with    bitter  regret    that   if  I  had   foreseen 
something more or something differentif   instead of that hideous vision 
which poisoned the passion it could not destroy�察�or if even along with it I 
could   have   had   a   foreshadowing   of   that   moment   when   I   looked   on   my 
brother's face for the last time�察�some softening influence would have been 
shed over my feeling towards him�此              �pride and hatred would surely have 
been   subdued   into   pity�察  �and   the   record   of   those   hidden   sins   would   have 
been shortened。        But this is one of the vain thoughts with which we men 
flatter ourselves。      We try to believe that the egoism within us would have 
easily been melted�察�and that it was only the narrowness of our knowledge 
which hemmed in our generosity�察�our awe�察�our human piety�察�and hindered 
them     from    submerging       our   hard   indifference     to   the   sensations    and 
emotions      of  our   fellows。    Our     tenderness     and   self´renunciation      seem 
strong when our egoism has had its daywhen�察�after our mean striving for 
a triumph that is to be another's loss�察�the triumph es suddenly�察�and we 
shudder at it�察�because it is held out by the chill hand of death。 
     Our arrival in Prague happened at night�察�and I was glad of this�察�for it 
seemed like a deferring of a terribly decisive moment�察�to be in the city for 
hours without seeing it。        As we were not to remain long in Prague�察�but to 
go on speedily to Dresden�察�it was proposed that we should drive out the 
next morning and take a general view of the place�察�as well as visit some of 
its specially interesting spots�察�before the heat became oppressivefor we 
were in August�察�and the season was hot and dry。                But it happened that the 
ladies were rather late at their morning toilet�察�and to my father's politely´ 
repressed but perceptible annoyance�察�we were not in the carriage till the 
morning was far advanced。            I thought with a sense of relief�察�as we entered 
the   Jews'   quarter�察  �where   we   were   to   visit   the   old   synagogue�察  �that   we 
should be kept in this flat�察�shut´up part of the city�察�until we should all be 
too   tired   and   too   warm   to   go   farther�察  �and   so   we   should   return   without 
seeing more than the streets through which we had already passed。                      That 
would give me another day's suspensesuspense�察�the only form in which a 
fearful    spirit  knows     the   solace   of  hope。     But�察   �as  I  stood   under    the 
blackened�察 �groined   arches of   that   old synagogue�察 �made   dimly  visible   by 
the   seven   thin   candles   in   the   sacred   lamp�察  �while   our   Jewish    cicerone 
reached down the Book of the Law�察�and read to us in its ancient tongueI 
felt a shuddering impression that this strange building�察�with its shrunken 
lights�察  �this   surviving   withered   remnant   of   medieval   Judaism�察  �was   of   a 
piece with my vision。          Those darkened dusty Christian saints�察�with their 
loftier arches and their larger candles�察�needed the consolatory scorn with 
which they might point to a more shrivelled death´in´life than their own。 
     As I expected�察�when we left the Jews' quarter the elders of our party 
wished to return to the hotel。           But now�察�instead of rejoicing in this�察�as I 
had   done   beforehand�察  �I   felt   a   sudden   overpowering   impulse   to   go   on   at 
once to the bridge�察�and put an end to the suspense I had been wishing to 
protract。     I   declared�察  �with   unusual   decision�察  �that   I   would   get   out   of   the 
carriage   and   walk   on   alone�察  �they   might   return   without   me。     My   father�察�
thinking this merely a sample of my usual ;poetic nonsense�察─�objected that 
I should only do myself harm by walking in the heat�察�but when I persisted�察�
he    said  angrily   that   I  might   follow    my    own    absurd    devices�察   �but  that 
Schmidt   ��our   courier��   must   go   with   me。      I   assented   to   this�察  �and   set   off 
with Schmidt towards the bridge。             I had no sooner passed from under the 
archway of the grand old gate leading an to the bridge�察�than a trembling 
seized me�察�and I turned cold under the mid´day sun�察�yet I went on�察�I was in 
search     of  somethinga      small   detail   which    I  remembered       with   special 
intensity as part of my vision。 There it wasthe patch of rainbow light on 
the pavement transmitted through a lamp in the shape of a star。 
Before   the   autumn   was   at   an   end�察  �and   while   the   brown   leaves   still 
stood   thick     on  the   beeches    in  our   park�察  �my   brother   and    Bertha    were 
engaged to   each   other�察  �and it   was   understood   that   their  marriage  was   to 
take   place   early   in   the   next   spring。 In   spite   of   the   certainty   I   had   felt 
from that moment on the bridge at Prague�察�that Bertha would one day be 
my wife�察�my constitutional timidity and distrust had continued to benumb 
me�察�and the words in which I had sometimes premeditated a confession of 
my love�察�had died away unuttered。              The same conflict had gone on within 
me as beforethe longing for an assurance of love from Bertha's lips�察�the 
dread   lest   a   word   of   contempt   and   denial   should   fall   upon   me   like   a 
corrosive acid。       What was the conviction of a distant necessity to me�拭                 �l
