Chapter 9

When Andreas entered his hotel , it was almost morning. He stood at the window of his bedroom and gazed down at the square in front of the railway station . A number of taxi-cabs were there, a few belated pedestrians. A gleam of light was visible from the glass wall of the long narrow booking-hall.

When Andreas stepped into his hotel , it was almost morning. An icy cold March morning.

ts-trc09p001

He stood at the window of his hotel room for a long time, looking down on the almost empty plaza in front of the train station . A few automated cabs stood there. A few late-night strollers. And the shimmering glow of the glass wall of the long building of the station. A pale, tired glow. Only the morning air was awake.

ts-trc09p002

Da Andreas kom tilbage til sit Hotel , var det næsten Morgen. En isnende kold Martsmorgen.

d1c10p001

Han stod længe ved Vinduet i sit Hotelværelse og saa ud over den øde Plads foran Banegaarden . Der holdt et Par Taxivogne og enkelte forsinkede Nattevandrere gled som Skygger gennem Lysskæret, der fra den langstrakte Banegaardshals Glasvægge faldt ud over Pladsen — et træt og falmet Skær ...... Kun Morgenluften var frisk og vaagen.

When Andreas came back to his hotel , it was almost morning. An icy cold March morning.

d1-trc10p001

He stood for a long time at the window of his hotel room and looked out across the deserted square in front of the railway station . A couple of taxi cabs were parked there and a few delayed night wanderers glided like shadows through the light falling out across the square from the glass walls of the elongated railway station hall – a tired and faded light ...... Only the morning air was fresh and awake.

He was very tired.

a1c09p002

Er war sehr müde. Aber es war eine wohlige Müdigkeit, - wie nach einem langen, mühevollen Marsch mit schwerer Bürde auf dem ~~Nacken~~ Rücken .

tsc09p004

He was very tired. But it was a comforting tiredness, - like after a long, tiring march with a heavy burden carried on one's back.

ts-trc09p004

Han var meget træt ...... men det var en velgørende Træthed, som naar man efter en lang og udmattende Vandring kaster en svær Byrde, der har bøjet éns Ryg, fra sig. Vandringen var til Ende. Byrden tyngede ham ikke længere. Han havde i denne Nat, da han skriftede for sine Venner og fortalte dem om sin og Lili s — for ham selv saa ufattelige — Dobbelttilværelse, kastet den fra sig.

d1c10p004

He was very tired ..... but it was a pleasant tiredness, as when after a long and exhausting walk one throws down a heavy burden that has bent one's back. The walk was over. The burden no longer weighed him down. He had this night thrown it down, as he confessed to his friends and told them about his and Lili 's – to himself so incomprehensible – double life.

Er war sehr müde.

Der Marsch war zu Ende. Die Bürde drückte nicht mehr den ~~Nacken~~ Rücken . Er hatte sein Leben in der vergangenen Nacht seinem Freunde hingebeichtet. Dieses seitsame, geheimnisvolle Doppelsein von ihm und Lili , unbegreiflich ihm selber.

tsc09p005

The march was over. The burden no longer pressed on his back. In the past night he had confessed his life to his friend. This odd, mysterious double existence of Lili and him, ineffable even to himself.

Rystende af Kulde lukkede han Vinduet.

Slowly he undressed. He stood nude in front of the mirror. He thought of an expression he had used that evening: "I am like one who only owns the façade of his house." The mirror in front of him showed him the façade. It was the unblemished body of a man.

a1c09p003

Er entkleidete sich langsam. Er stand nackt vor dem Spiegel. Er musste an seine Worte von heute nacht denken: ich bin wie einer, dem nur die Fassade seines Hauses noch gehört. Das Spiegelbild vor ihm zeigte ihm die Fassade ... Es war der makellose Leib eines Mannes.

tsc09p006

He slowly disrobed. He stood in front of the mirror, naked. He had to think of the words he said that night: I am like one who only owns the façade of a house. His mirror image showed only the façade... It was the immaculate body of a man.

ts-trc09p006

Han klædte sig langsomt af og stillede sig nøgen foran Spejlet. Han tænkte paa de Ord, han selv havde sagt: »Jeg er som én, der kun ejer Façaden af sit eget Hus« ...... Spejlet viste ham denne Façade ...... et lydefrit Mandslegeme.

He slowly undressed and stood naked in front of the mirror. He thought of the words he had said himself: "I am as one who owns only the façade of his own house" ...... The mirror showed him this façade ...... a flawless male body.

After a few hours he awoke in a cheerful humour, took a bath, breakfasted, punctually paid, one after another, his last visits to the various doctors, and felt almost carefree. In the middle of the Leipziger Strasse he heard a child's voice whisper: "Look, mamma, a woman in man's clothes." He turned round, and encountered a frightened look in two girlish eyes, probably a ten-year-old, with a thick, fair pigtail; the child blushed a fiery red and clutched hold of her mother, who regarded him with as much astonishment as her daughter, and then hurried along with the child.

a1c09p004

Mit einer reinen, ja, beschwingten Fröhlichkeit wachte er nach wenigen Stunden auf, nahm ein Bad, frühstückte, ~~legte~~ machte hinter einander pünktlich seine letzten Besuche bei den verschiedenen Ärzten, war guter Dinge und fast sorglos. "Jetzt bin ich wie ein Reisender ohne jegliches Gepäck," sagte er sich, "wie einer, der Ferien vom eignen Ich genommen hat." Mitten in der Leipziger Strasse hört er eine Kinderstimme wispern: "Mutti, guck mal, eine Frau in Männerkleidern ..." Er dreht sich um, sieht

in zwei erschreckte blaue Mädchenaugen, wohl eine Zehnjährige mit dicken, blonden Zöpfen; die Kleine wird feuerrot und hakt sich schnell bei der Mutter ein, die ~~schnell~~ erstaunt wie ihre Tochter ihn betrachtet und eiligst mit dem Kinde weitergeht.

tsc09p013

With a pure, yes, elated happiness he woke up after a few hours, took a bath, ate breakfast, punctually went to the last visits to different doctors, was in good spirits and almost carefree. "Now I am like a traveler without any baggage," he told himself, "like one who is on vacation from his true self." Standing in the middle of Leipziger Strasse , he heard a child's voice whisper: "Look there mamma, a woman in men's clothes..." He turns around, looks

into two shocked, blue girl's eyes, possibly a ten-year-old with thick, blonde braids; the little one turns ruby red and clutched hold of her mother's arm, who looks at him as baffled as her daughter and hurriedly walks on with the child.

ts-trc09p013

Det var langt op ad Formiddagen, da han vaagnede. Han var i en lys, næsten overjordisk Stemning. Han tog et Bad, spiste Fro-

kost, og begav sig let og ubekymret ud paa sine sidste Lægebesøg, der stod for ham som en Række behagelige Oplevelser.

d1c10p012

Men midt i Leipzigerstrasse hørte han en Barnestemmes lydelige Hvisken: »Se, Mor, se, der gaar en Dame i Herreklæder!«

d1c10p014

Han vendte sig om og saa ind i to forskrækkede blaa Barneøjne. Det var en lille Pige paa en halv Snes Aar med en tyk, hvidgul Fletning. Hun blev ildrød i Hovedet og skjulte sig flov bag sin Moder, der ligeledes stirrede forbavset paa ham og skyndsomst trak Barnet med sig.

d1c10p015

Ogsaa Andreas var blevet rød. Nu smilte han ikke mere. En ejendommelig haard Trods skød op i ham ...... som om Manden i ham følte sig krænket. Uden at tænke over det, og uden at ville det, stillede han sig op foran en Butik og betragtede undersøgende sit eget Spejlbillede i den blanke Rude ...... Saa vendte han sig ærgerlig bort:

d1c10p016

It was late in the morning when he woke up. He was in a light, almost ethereal mood. He took a bath, ate

lunch, and in a light and carefree manner went out on his last visits to the doctors that appeared to him as a series of pleasant experiences.

d1-trc10p012

But in the middle of Leipzigerstrasse he heard the loud whisper of a child's voice: "Look mummy, there is a lady in men's clothes!"

d1-trc10p014

He turned around and looked into two frightened blue eyes of a child. It was a little girl about ten years old with a thick yellowish-white pigtail. She turned scarlet and embarrassed hid behind her mother who also stared at him in astonishment and hastily pulled the child with her.

d1-trc10p015

Andreas too had turned scarlet. Now he no longer smiled. A peculiar hard defiance shot up in him ...... as if the man in him were offended. Without thinking about it and without wanting to, he placed himself in front of a shop and curiously studied his own reflection in the shiny pane ...... Then he turned away annoyed:

A remarkable feeling of grim defiance welled

up in him. Without meaning to do so, or even being aware of his action, he remained standing in front of a shop window, gazing inquiringly at his own reflection in the smooth plate-glass window. Irritably he muttered to himself. "There is nothing more to be done with me. There is nothing more to be done with me." Several times he repeated this sentence, and then looked at his watch. It was half past four in the afternoon, and at five o'clock he had to be in Professor Gebhard 's sanatorium .

a1c09p005

Auch er ist feuerrot geworden, ~~fühlt er~~ . Diesmal hat er nicht gelächelt. Ein merkwürdiger, harter Trotz stieg in ihm hoch. Wie ein Aufbäumen des Mannes in ihm. Ohne dass er es selber wollte oder recht wusste, blieb er vor einem Ladenfenster stehen, betrachtete forschend sein eignes Spiegelbild in der blanken Vitrinenscheibe. Ärgerlich wandte er sich ab. "Geht mich ja gar nichts mehr an. Geht mich ja gar nichts mehr an." Mehrmals wiederholte er ~~fast sinnlos~~ trotzig diesen Satz, blickte dann auf seine Uhr, es war halb fünf nachmittags, um fünf Uhr sollte er in dem M.-Sanatorium sein, bei Professor G .

tsc09p014

He, too, has turned ruby red, he feels. This time he did not smile. An odd, hard defiance rose within him. Like a rearing up of the man in him. Without wanting to do it himself or even knowing it, he stopped in front of a shop's window, observing his own mirror image inquisitively in the blue window pane. Annoyed he turned away. "None of my business anymore. None of my business anymore." He repeated that sentence several times, defiantly, then looked at his watch, it was half past four in the afternoon, at five he should be at the M. Sanatorium , with Professor G.

He found himself in Potsdamer Platz and entered the post-office . In the huge telephone directory he looked up the number of Baroness Schildt , whom he really ought to have visited before, and asked to be connected. She was not at home. He despatched a few hasty lines by post:

In ein paar Minuten nehme ich mir eine Autotaxe und ~~fahre mich~~ besorge dann selber mein Begräbnis: Grabstätte M. Sanatorium. Wie es auch kommt. Behalten Sie mich lieb.

He found himself at Potsdamer Platz , went to the post office , searched in the giant telephone book for the number of Baroness Schildt , whom he had wanted to visit, previously, and had himself be connected. She was not at home. Hurriedly he bought a pneumatic tube letter, despatched a few brief lines: "Dearest Baroness, please don't be mad if you don't see me again. In a few minutes I will take a cab and will arrange my own funeral: Tomb of M. sanatorium. Whatever happens, please keep me in your heart. And if Lili should survive alone, don't leave her all alone.

He threw the letter into the bag of the postman who was just emptying the blue pillar-box. He pressed a shilling into the worthy fellow's hand. The postman looked at him astonished. Before the man could thank him, Andreas was in the

nearest taxi. He gave the driver the exact address of the nursing-home , and punctually at five o'clock entered the sanatorium .

He was immediately led to the house-surgeon , who regarded him with a benevolent mien.

There he was received by a pretty " sister ." Immediately he was lead to

Han blev modtaget af en Sygeplejerske og blev straks ført ind til Overlægen , en ung, lys, næsten atletisk bygget Mand, der venligt betragtede ham med et Par kloge, livsglade, lyseblaa Øjne, hvori han skimtede en vis Nysgerrighed.

d1c10p019

He was received by a nurse and at once he was taken to see the senior physician

Note: The German word “Oberarzt“ is a position that could be compared to that of an attending or senior physician. Yet medical hierarchies in the UK and US vastly differ from the German system, so there is not really an equivalent translation. Both the American edition and the German edition work around the problem by using the name Professor Gebhard (not Dr. Gebhard), which allows them to use “Professor" as a way to address him. Erwin Gohrbandt (the actual doctor) was a professor at the time, so the term fits. But since Werner Kreutz is called “the Professor" throughout, and since "Oberarzt" is a medical term not an academic one, we have chosen the somewhat awkward “senior physician" as a translation for “Oberarzt." The American edition also refers to Gebhard as “house surgeon" or simply “surgeon."

, a young, blond, almost athletically built man who kindly observed him with a pair of clever, cheerful, light blue eyes in which he glimpsed a certain curiosity.

d1-trc10p019

Sofort wurde er zu dem Herrn des Hauses geführt, der ihn freundlich betrachtete.

"I have just had a long telephonic conversation with my colleague Kreutz about your case," the Professor began. "Previously I had been talking to Doctor Arns about it. He will be present at the operation which I have to perform. I should now like to have the opportunity of making your acquaintance. A personal impression is always very desirable."

a1c09p009

"Jch habe gerade mit dem Kollegen Kreutz eine lange Telefonunterhaltung

wegen Ihres Falles geführt," begann der Professor sogleich, "ich bin also völlig im Bilde. Vorher hatte ich bereits eine Besprechung mit dem Kollegen A. , der Sie hier in Berlin zuerst untersucht hat. Kollege A. wird bei der Operation, die ich vorzunehmen habe, zugegen sein. Jch möchte mich jetzt aber gern einmal persönlich mit Ihnen kurz unterhalten. Ein persönlicher Eindruck ist ja immerhin notwendig."

tsc09p018

"I just had a long phone conversation with my dear colleague Kreutz

about your case," the doctor began right away, "which means I am fully informed. Before that I had a briefing with colleague A. , who was the first to examine you here in Berlin . Colleague A. will be present during the procedure I will have to perform. I would like to converse with you now, briefly, too. A personal impression is necessary."

ts-trc09p018

— Jeg har haft en længere Telefonsamtale med min Ven, Professor Kreutz , sagde han, og jeg er derfor ganske paa det rene med Deres Tilfælde. Jeg har desuden haft en Samtale med Professor Arno , der har undersøgt Dem her i Berlin . Han vil være tilstede ved den Operation, jeg skal foretage paa Dem ...... men det hindrer ikke, at jeg gerne selv vil tale lidt med Dem ...... Det er altid det rigtigste at danne sig et personligt Indtryk.

d1c10p020

"I've had a long telephone conversation with my friend, Professor Kreutz ," he said, "and therefore I'm fully aware of your case. I've also had a conversation with Professor Arno who has examined you here in Berlin . He will be present at the operation I will perform on you ...... but that does not prevent me from wanting to speak with you a little myself ...... It is always best to form a personal impression."

g1c09p010

Andreas answered to the point: "Please, Professor , ask me what you like." But the Professor preferred a physical examination to all questions, requested him to undress and lie down upon an adjacent sofa of a type which had become very familiar to him since he had been in Berlin .

a1c09p010

Andreas antwortete sehr sachlich: "Bitte, Herr Professor , fragen Sie nur." Aber der Professor zog allen Fragen eine körperliche Inaugenscheinnahme vor, bat ihn, sich zu entkleiden und sich auf einen bereit stehenden Untersuchungsdivan von der Art, wie er sie in Berlin mittlerweile gründlich kennen gelernt hatte, niederzulegen.

tsc09p019

Andreas replied very matter-of-factly: "Please, Professor , ask away." But the doctor preferred a visual examination to all questions, asked Andreas to disrobe and to lie down on a prepared examination divan of the kind that he had now gotten to know thoroughly in Berlin .

ts-trc09p019

Overlægen ønskede aabenbart at give denne Samtale et fysisk Udgangspunkt, thi han anmodede Andreas om at klæde sig af. Andreas adlød og lagde sig paa en af de Undersøgelsesbænke, som han efterhaanden i Berlin havde lært grundigt at kende.

d1c10p021

The senior physician apparently wished to give this conversation a physical basis for he asked Andreas to undress. Andreas obeyed and lay down on one of those examination benches which by now he had gotten to know thoroughly in Berlin .

Andreas antwortete sehr sachlich: »Bitte, Herr Professor , fragen Sie nur.« Aber der Professor zog allen Fragen eine körperliche Inaugenscheinnahme vor, bat ihn, sich zu entkleiden und sich auf einen bereitstehenden Untersuchungsdiwan von der Art, wie er sie in Berlin mittlerweile gründlich kennengelernt hatte, niederzulegen.

g1c09p011

"Yes," declared the Professor , after making a detailed examination, "in yourself you are entirely what you represent yourself to be in civic life, a man, but at the same time your body undoubtedly shows a female conformation. I am surprised at the state of affairs." And while Andreas was dressing himself again, the surgeon paced the room thoughtfully, regarded the patient without pausing, glanced at his diary, and then said: "I know you are in a hurry. Come early to-morrow morning."

a1c09p011

"Ja," stellte der Professor dann nach eingehender Betrachtung seiner Formen fest, "an sich sind Sie ganz und gar das, was Sie im bürgerlichen Leben vorstellen, ein korrekter Mann, gleichzeitig aber zeigt Ihr Körper zweifellos weibliche Formung. ~~Ein erstaunliches Phänomen, gebe ich ohne weiteres zu~~ . Jch bin überrascht von dem Gesamtbefund ..." Und während Andreas sich wieder ankleidete, ging der Chirurg nachdenklich auf und ab, betrachtete ohne Unterlass den Patienten, war f f einen Blick auf sein Journal und sagte dann: "Jch weiss, Sie haben Eile. Kommen Sie also morgen früh ..."

tsc09p020

"Yes," the doctor then concluded after a careful analysis of his figure," "you are indeed absolutely what you present as in ordinary life, a correctly built man, but still your body does show a certain female form, undoubtedly. A curious phenomenon, I have to admit. I am astonished by the overall findings..." And while Andreas got dressed again, the surgeon paced back and forth, observed the patient without pause, glanced at his day book and then said: "I know you are in a hurry. Then return tomorrow morning..."

dersøgelse. De er i alle Maader det, De i det borgerlige Liv gaar for at være: en normalt bygget Mand ...... men alligevel har De vise ubetinget kvindelige Former ...... denne Sammenstilling overrasker mig......

d1c10p022

Medens Andreas atter klædte sig paa, gik Overlægen eftertænksomt frem og tilbage, idet han uafbrudt betragtede ham. Kun nu og da standsede han for at kaste et Blik i sin Journal, saa sagde han:

d1c10p023

— Jeg ved, at De har Hastværk ...... men det kan ikke blive i Dag ...... skal vi sige, at De kommer her i Morgen Eftermiddag ved Firetiden? Saa kan De bruge Formiddagen til at gaa op til Professor Hardenfeld og faa taget de Fotografier, som Professor Werner Kreutz gerne vil have inden Operationen ...... Lad mig se, i Dag er det Tirsdag, saa fastsætter vi Operationen til i Morgen, Onsdag Aften.

d1c10p024

"Yes," the doctor established, after a long and careful ex-

amination, "you are in every respect what you pass for in civil life: a normally built man ...... but yet you have certain unconditionally female forms ...... this combination surprises me ......"

d1-trc10p022

While Andreas dressed again, the senior physician walked back and forth deep in thought as he observed him continually. Only now and then he stopped to glance at his file, then he said:

d1-trc10p023

"I know that you are in a hurry ...... but it can't be today ...... shall we say that you come here tomorrow afternoon around four o'clock? Then you can spend the morning going up to Professor Hardenfeld and have the photographs taken that Professor Kreutz would like to have before the operation ...... Let me see, today is Tuesday, then we'll schedule the operation for tomorrow Wednesday evening."

d1-trc10p024

»Ja«, stellte der Professor dann nach eingehender Betrachtung fest, »an sich sind Sie ganz und gar das, was Sie im bürgerlichen Leben vorstellen, ein Mann, gleichzeitig aber zeigt Ihr Körper zweifellos weibliche Formung. Ich bin überrascht von dem Gesamtbefund . . .« Und während Andreas sich wieder ankleidete, ging der Chirurg nachdenklich auf und ab, betrachtete ohne Unterlaß den Patienten, warf einen Blick auf sein Journal und sagte dann: »Ich weiß, Sie haben Eile. Kommen Sie also morgen früh . . .«

"That is not convenient, because I am to be photographed by Doctor Hardenfeld at eleven o'clock to-morrow morning before the operation, at Professor Kreutz 's wishes."

"Abgemacht, Herr Professor ," Andreas rief diese Worte förmlich begeistert aus. Im nächsten Augenblick war er, nach hartem Händedruck mit seinem Helfer, wieder draussen - im Freien.

"Agreed, doctor ," Andreas practically shouted the words with excitement. The next moment, following a hard handshake with his helper, he was back out – outside.

— Ja, Tak, Hr. Overlæge, svarede Andreas i en næsten begejstret Tone, og efter at have vekslet et fast Haandtryk med Lægen, forlod han Kliniken og stod atter ude i det frie.

"Yes, thank you, doctor," Andreas answered in an almost enthusiastic tone, and after having exchanged a firm handshake with the doctor, he left the clinic and was again out in the open air.

"So we have a further reprieve," he said to himself, and looked at his watch. It was nearly half past six. A taxi-cab was in the neighbourhood . He gave the driver the name of his hotel , and spent this last night of all alone in the hotel bedroom. He felt that his body and nerves could not stand any more strain that day—yesterday's sleepless night, the conversation which had preceded it, the noisy, strange giant city all around him.

"Also haben wir noch eine Galgenfrist," sagte er still zu sich, sah auf seine Uhr, es war fast halb sieben ... Eine Autotaxe hielt in der Nähe. Er rief dem Chauffeur den Namen seines Hotel s zu - und verbrachte diese allerletzte Nacht mit sich allein im Hotelzimmer. Er ~~spürte~~ fühlte, dass er seinem Körper und seinen Nerven heute nichts mehr zumuten

"So we have a last respite," he said quietly to himself, looked at his watch, it was almost half past six... A cab stopped nearby. He told the chauffeur the name of his hotel – and spent this very last night alone with himself in his hotel room. He felt, sensed, that he could not ask any more of his nerves or of his body, -

the last night he spent awake, the conversation earlier, the loud, foreign, giant city around him.

ts-trc09p024

— Saa har jeg altsaa faaet en Galgenfrist, sagde han til sig selv og saa paa sit Ur. Det var sent ud paa Eftermiddagen og han tog en Vogn og kørte tilbage til Hotellet ...... Han følte, at han ikke kunde byde sit Legeme og sine Nerver mere ...... Den foregaaende lange Nat, hvor han havde skriftet for sine Venner, og Støjen i den fremmede Storstad havde taget paa ham.

"Then I have been given a short respite," he said to himself and looked at his watch. It was late in the afternoon and he took a cab and drove back to the hotel ...... He felt that he could not strain his body and his nerves any further ...... The previous long night when he had confessed to his friends and the noise from the strange city had been hard on him.

Tuesday morning Andreas left his hotel early. It was a bright March day; he strolled along the Friedrichstrasse , then turned into the broad highway of Unter den Linden , and found himself in the Pariser Platz , facing the smooth, austere Brandenburg Gate . This beautiful and almost classically perfect perspective was bathed in the keen, bright sunshine of March . The painter awoke in him. He went into Tiergartenthe . Sunshine and budding vegetation everywhere. And the dead leaves were glistening like bronze. He strolled along a path which led to a lake , on which ducks were swimming. The branches of lofty trees were reflected on the surface of the water.

Überall Sonne und beginnendes Grün. Und das alte Grün glänzte wie köstliche Bronze auf. Er wanderte einen schmalen Pfad, der bald einen winzigen See erreicht. Enten sc h wammen in lustigen Geschwadern darauf. Das Astwerk hoher Bäume spiegelte sich auf der fast faltenlosen Wasserfläche.

Andreas left the hotel on time on Tuesday morning, it was a clear, crisp March day, he wandered down Friedrichstrasse a short stretch, then turned onto the broad boulevard of Unter den Linden , stood on Pariser Platz , in front of the austere, simple Brandenburg Gate . The sun, a harsh, brightly golden March sun elevated this beautiful, almost classically clean streetscape, that reminded Andreas of the most well done places in Paris . "How perfect German architects are able to build... How much you can learn here." The painter within him awoke. He walked into Tiergarten . Everywhere was sun and the budding green. And the old green was shining like delicious bronze. He wandered along a narrow path that soon reaches a small lake . Ducks are swimming on it in funny formations. The branches of high trees reflect on the almost ripple-free surface of the water.

Onsdag Morgen gik Andreas allerede tidligt fra Hotellet . Det var en frisk og klar Martsdag. Han gik ned ad Friedrichsstrasse , drejede om ad Unter den Linden og blev staaende paa Pariserplatz foran

Brandenburger Thors

Regularized form: Brandenburger Tor

enkle og kraftige Arkitektur. En skarp, lys Martssol forgyldte dette den tyske Hovedstads smukkeste, næsten klassisk rene Gadebillede, der fik Andreas til at tænke paa Paris ' skønne Pladser ...... Den tyske Arkitektur kan altsaa ogsaa

præstere noget fuldendt, tænkte han, her maatte man kunne lære meget. Maleren var vaagnet i ham ...... han slentrede ind i Tiergarten ...... Solen skinnede paa det spirende Grønne, og det gamle Løv fra Aaret forud lyste som kostbart Bronze. Han slog ind paa en smal Sti, der førte ham til en lille bitte Sø, hvor nogle Ænder lystigt snadrende svømmede rundt og de høje Træers grenede Fletværk spejlede sig i det blanke og næsten helt stille Vand.

Wednesday morning Andreas left the hotel early. It was a fresh and clear March day. He walked down Friedrichsstrasse , turned into Unter den Linden and stopped at Pariserplatz in front of the simple and powerful architecture of Brandenburger Gate . A glaring, light March sun gilded this most beautiful, almost classically pure street view of the German capital making Andreas think of the wonderful squares of Paris ...... German architecture too was able to

produce something perfect, he thought, here a lot was to be learned. The painter had awakened in him ...... he strolled into Tiergarten ...... The sun shone on the emerging leaves and the old foliage from the year before shone like precious bronze. He turned into a narrow path leading him to a tiny lake where some cheerfully quacking ducks swam about and the interlacing branches of the tall trees were reflected in the smooth and almost completely still water.

He had never been there before. He absorbed the picture. He thought of the many morning hours of his past life as a painter, spent far from towns and people, and he blessed the fate which had made him a painter, a creature of utter

simplicity who surrendered himself fully to the enjoyment of the moment. Not to lose this precious moment was the impulse which found release when he painted. He usually painted feverishly, and could scarcely wait to catch the picture while it presented itself to his gaze, this gaze which was purified by the winds of travel, which saw more than the vacant stare of others, and which was brighter than that of others. Clairvoyant. How fond he had always been of this word, and how it recurred to him at this moment!

a1c09p017

Andreas blieb stehen. Hier war er nie gewesen. Dies kleine Stück Natur mitten in der lärmenden Millionenstadt! ~~wirkt~~ Er sog das Bild in sich ein. Er musste an so viele unvergessliche Morgenstunden in Italien , Frankreich , Dänemark denken, wo WO er ~~draussen~~ als glücklicher M m ensch sein ganzes Glücksgefühl in seinen Augen getragen hatte ...

tsc09p027

Mit Malkasten, Staffelei und Leinen war er hinausgezogen, weit fort von den Städten und den Menschen, und hatte sein eignes Geschick gepriesen, Maler, nichts als Maler sein zu dürfen, ein ganz einfältiges Wesen, dem Augenblick völlig hingegeben. Sie nicht verlieren, diese köstlichen Augenblicke, das war sein Trieb, der Auslösung fand, wenn er malte. Wie im Fieber malte er meist, konnte kaum abwarten, das Bild, das sich seinem entladenen Blick bot, einzufangen, diesem entladenen, von den en Winden der Wanderungen rein geblasenen Blick, der mehr sieht als der ~~andere~~ taube Blick der anderen Menschen, der heller ist als der Blick der anderen ... Hell seherisch ... Wie er das Wort immer geliebt hatte ... Wie er dieses

Wort jetzt, in diesem Augenblick, wieder liebte!

tsc09p028

Andreas stopped. He had never been here before. This small piece of nature in the middle of the metropolis! He inhaled the image. He had to think of so many unforgettable morning hours in Italy , France and Denmark , where as a happy person he had carried the whole of his happiness in his eyes...

ts-trc09p027

With his paint box, easel and canvas he had gone out, far away from cities and people, and had praised his own fate being allowed to be a painter, nothing but a painter, a very simple creature, fully immersed in the moment. To not lose those delicious moments was his urge that found release when he was painting. He painted as if in a fever, could not wait to capture the picture that presented itself to his discharging view, this discharging view that was blown inside by the winds of wanderings, that sees more than the dull gaze of other people, that was brighter than the gaze of others... prescient... How much he had always loved the word... How he

loved this word again in this instance!

ts-trc09p028

Andreas standsede. Dette lille Stykke Natur midt i den larmende Millionby overraskede ham. Han tog Billedet ind til sig ...... Han maatte tænke paa andre Morgener, som han havde tilbragt i Italien , i Frankrig og i Danmark , hvor han som et lykkeligt Menneske gennem sine Øjne havde lyttet til Naturen ...... Med Malerkasse, Staffeli og Lærred var han vandret afsted, langt bort fra Byen og Menneskene, og været lykkelig over sin Skæbne, lykkelig over at være Maler og eje Evnen til fuldt og helt at kunne give sig hen i Nuet ...... Det gjaldt om ikke at gaa Glip af et eneste af disse kostelige Øjeblikke, der udløste hans inderste Trang. Som oftest malede han som i Feber, han kunde knapt vente, til han havde fæstnet paa Lærredet det Billede, han indsugede gennem sine Øjne, som under hans Vandring af Vinden var blæst rene og klare, som var stærkere og lysere end andre Menneskers sløve Blikke, og som saa ...... saa! Han havde altid elsket det Ord. Og han elskede det endnu i dette Øjeblik ...... I saadanne Stunder havde han levet sig ind i det ugribelige, det hvileløse, dette Spil mellem Lys og Skygge, mellem Farver og Former, i Tonernes Mangfoldighed og i Liniernes slyngende Kurver ...... Han havde altid forekommet sig selv som en Fuglefænger, der hemmeligt ligger paa Lur og bruger alle Lokkemidler, indtil han har naaet sit Maal.

Andreas stopped. This small piece of nature in the middle of the noisy metropolis surprised him. He embraced the image ...... He had to think of other mornings that he had spent in Italy , in France , and in Denmark , where as a happy person he had listened to nature through his eyes ...... With his painter's box, easel and canvas he had walked along far away from the city and the people and had been happy about his fate, happy to be a painter and possess the ability to completely give himself up to the moment ...... The important thing was not to miss a single one of these precious moments releasing his innermost urge. Most often he painted as in a fever, he could barely wait until he had fixed to the canvas the image he absorbed through his eyes, which had been blown clean and clear by the wind during his walking, which were stronger and brighter than other people's dull eyes, and which saw ...... saw!

Note: This is the literal translation, but the meaning is closer to "foresaw"; the American edition uses "clairvoyant."

He had always loved that word. And he loved it even at this moment ...... In moments like this he had identified with the incomprehensible, the restless, this play between light and shadow, between colours and shapes, in the diversity of shades and in the winding curves of the lines ...... He had always appeared to himself as a fowler secretly lying in wait and using all bait until he has reached his goal.

He had always been one with this intangible and restless something, this play of light and shade, of claire-obscure, with colour and form. His attitude had been like that of a sly bird-stalker who laid in ambush and knew all the calls that would allure what he sought.

Thus he had created his pictures, spellbound on the dead canvas with dead colours, until what he had divined with his eyes suddenly began to take on a life of its own. . . . Captured echoes, he had then usually confessed to himself. My pictures are only feeble echoes . . . He had been happy and very humble, like an initiate. And these hours had been the only real and genuine joys of his life. These joys had belonged to him, to him alone, he could not have shared them with, nor could he have stolen them from, any other person. They had been exclusively his wealth, his property. Could he transmit this property, this wealth? This question had never occurred to him before. Can one transmit joy? The joy of painting? For him, Andreas Sparre , these joys had gone beyond recall. And if Lili should survive him,

would she feel any desire to paint? Would he be able to bequeath her as a heritage this joy, this blissful feeling of creative capacity, as a slight compensation for the life he had stolen from her, for the many youthful years he had deprived her of? His consciousness of guilt which so often weighed heavily upon him would be thereby lessened.

Und diese Stunden waren die einzigen wirklichen und wahrhaftigen Freuden seines Lebens gewesen. Diese Freuden hatten ihm gehört, ihm allein, diese Freuden hatte er nicht mit einem anderen Wesen teilen müssen, diese Freuden hatte er niemand anders geraubt, gestohlen ... Sie waren ausschliesslich sein Reichtum, sein Besitz gewesen ... Konnte er diesen Besitz, diesen Reichtum vererben? ... Wie eine Angst fühlte er diese Frage in sich ... Nie hatte er vorher jemals diese Frage ln sich gehört ... Freude, kann man sie vererben? Freude am Malen ...? Für ihn, Andreas Sparre , waren diese Freuden unwiederruflich dahin.

That was how he had created his pictures,

bound

Regularized form: festgebannt

onto the dead canvas with dead colors, until these things he had harkened with his eyes began to have a life of their own... A captured echo he confessed to himself, a dim echo is what my pictures are... But still an echo... And he had been happy and very humble like an insider... And those hours had been the only true joys of his life. These joys had belonged to him, him alone, he had not had to share these joys with any other being, he had not robbed anyone else of these joys, or stolen... They had been exclusively his riches, his property... Could he bequeath this property, these riches?... He felt this question like a fear rising within... He had never before heard that question within himself... Joy, could that be bequeathed? The joy of painting...? For him, Andreas Sparre , that joy was irrevocably over.

ts-trc09p030

And Lili ... If she was allowed to survive, would she feel the drive to paint? If he could give her this joy, this feeling of happiness in creation, if he could give this to her as an inheritance, to make up for the life he stole from her, for the many years of youth, his guilty conscious, that so often pressed him to the ground, would be eased...

Saaledes havde han skabt sine Billeder, bygget dem op paa det døde Lærred med døde Farver, indtil det, hans Blik havde lyttet sig til, pludselig begyndte at blive levende under hans Pensel ...... Det er kun en Genklang, sagde han til sig selv, en mat Genklang er mine Billeder ...... men det er dog en Genklang ...... Og han følte sig lykkelig, andægtig og ydmyg som en Indviet. Disse Timer havde været hans Livs eneste sande og virkelige Lykke. Den Glæde, han følte, havde tilhørt ham, ham alene, den havde han ikke delt med noget andet Væsen, han ejede den, den var hans, og han havde hverken røvet eller stjaalet den fra nogen anden ...... Det havde været

hans Rigdom, hans Eje. Kunde han føre denne Rigdom over paa en anden? ...... Som en Angst følte han dette Spørgsmaal i sig, aldrig før var det dukket op i hans Sjæl ...... Kan man give sin Glæde i Arv til en anden? ...... Det havde været hans Glæde at male, men for ham, Andreas Sparre , var denne Glæde nu uigenkaldeligt forbi ...... Og Lili ? Hvis hun overlevede ham, vilde hun saa føle den samme Trang til at male? Kunde han som en ringe Erstatning for det Liv, han havde stjaalet fra hende, for de mange Menneskeaar, efterlade hende denne Lykkefølelse, denne Skaberglæde? ...... Kunde han det, saa vilde den Skyldfølelse, der saa ofte tyngede ham til Jorden, blive lettere.

In this way he had created his pictures, built them up on the dead canvas with dead colours until what his eyes had learned by listening suddenly began to come alive under his brush ...... It is only an echo, he said to himself, a dull echo my pictures are ...... but yet they are an echo ...... And he felt happy, devout and humble like an initiate. These hours had been the only true and real happiness of his life. The joy he felt had belonged to him, him alone, he had not shared it with any other being, he owned it, it was his, and he had neither robbed nor stolen it from anyone else ...... It had been

his wealth, his property. Could he transfer this wealth to someone else? ...... Like an anxiety he felt this question in him, never before had it appeared in his soul ...... Can one pass on one's joy to someone else? ...... It had been his joy to paint, but to him, Andreas Sparre , this joy was irrevocably over ...... And Lili ? If she survived him, would she then feel the same urge to paint? Could he as a poor compensation for the life he had stolen from her, for the many years of life, leave her this happiness, this creative zest? ...... If he could, the feeling of guilt that so often weighed him to the ground would become lighter.

Han tænkte smilende paa, at hun altid havde afskyet at røre ved Farver, fordi hun var bange for at tilsmudse sine Fingre, medens han ofte uden Betænkning havde brugt sine Fingre som en Pensel ...... Han slog en høj Latter op ...... her stod han og tænkte paa den Arv, han skulde efterlade sig ...... men var der overhovedet noget at efterlade? ...... Jo, et lille Bevis havde han dog for, at han havde udrettet noget, den franske Regering havde givet ham en Orden ...... den kunde han heller ikke dele med nogen ...... oh, Forfængelighed!

He had to think of Lili ...... She had quite different qualities than he did, in all areas she was different from him ...... With a smile he thought of how she had always loathed touching paint because she was afraid of soiling her fingers, while he often without hesitation had used his fingers as a brush ...... He burst into a loud laugh ...... here he was thinking of the inheritance that he would leave ...... but was there anything to leave at all? ...... Well, he did have a small proof, however, that he had accomplished something, the French government had bestowed an order

Note: The American edition says, "The golden 'palm' of the Paris Academy"

on him ...... this he could not share with anyone ...... oh, vanity!

Daß er jetzt an Lili denken mußte . . . an sie, die so ganz andere Neigungen hatte als er . . . Wozu an Erbe, an Hinterlassenschaft jetzt denken . . .

He wondered whether it was not time to return. He was standing upon an elegant lightly balanced bridge , whence he could look over a wide canal which poured its masses of water over a sluice drawn half-way up, so that it hissed and glittered like a miniature waterfall.

Andreas hörte still zu, wie einer, dem etwas von irgend einem anderen über irgend einen anderen erzählt wird, das er längst weiss. Die Herzlichkeit und Sachlichkeit, mit der die Dame zu ihm gesprochen hatte, empfand er wie eine wirkliche Wohltat. Sachlichkeit und Herzlichkeit mit einander zu verbinden, meinte er im stillen, ist etwas, das nur Deutschen eigen ist.

tsc09p038

Andreas listens quietly, like one who is receiving news about another that he has long since known himself. The cordiality and objectivity with which the woman spoke to him, he felt was a blessing. To connect objectivity and cordiality is something that is only in the nature of the German people.

ts-trc09p038

Andreas havde Indtrykket af, at det var en anden, hun talte om, og at hun om denne anden fortalte ham noget, som han forlængst vidste Besked med. Men den medfølende og selvfølgelige Maade, hun talte paa, gjorde ham godt ...... Det er kun Tyskerne, der er i Stand til saaledes at forbinde Saglighed med Hjertelighed, tænkte han.

d1c10p038

Andreas had the impression that it was someone else she was talking about, and that she was telling him something about this other person that he had known for a long time. But her compassionate and natural manner of speaking did him good ...... It is only the Germans who are able to combine objectivity and cordiality like this, he thought.

At length the photographer arrived. When Andreas left Dr. Hardenfeld 's institution , he invited himself to a "farewell breakfast". With great care he selected an appropriate restaurant for this purpose in the West End .

Als sich dann endlich der Photograf einfand, hatte Andreas seine sorglose

Stimmung, wenigstens äusserlich, wiedergefunden. "Jetzt bitte keinen Rückfall mehr," diese Order gab er sich und appellierte gewissermas— sen eindringlich noch einmal an seinen Trotz, und als er das Institut des Professor M. H. verliess, lud er sich selber zu einem "Abschiedsfrühstück" ein. Mit grosser Sorgfalt suchte er das hierfür geeignete Restaurant im Westen auf, ~~stellte~~ wählte er dann sehr umständlioh das Menü ~~zusammen~~ , an dessen Anfang er einen "Homard à l'amèricaine" mit leise gekühlter "Liebfrauenmilch" erlesensten Jahrgangs stellte.

When the photographer finally arrived, Andreas had found his

good mood again, at least superficially. "Now please, no more relapses," that was the order he gave himself, appealing in an empathetic way to his own defiance, and as he left the institute of Doctor M. H. , he invited himself to a "farewell breakfast." He selected a suitable restaurant in the west of town with the greatest care, and then very meticulously chose the menu, at the beginning of which he put a "Homard à l'amèricaine"

Note: lobster, American style

with quietly chilled "Liebfrauenmilch"

of the most select vintage.

Da Fotografen endelig dukkede frem, havde Andreas genvundet sin ydre Sorgløshed ...... Nu ikke længere noget Tilbagefald, befalede han sig selv og appellerede endnu en Gang ubevidst til sin mandlige Stolthed. Da Fotograferingen var overstaaet, og han forlod Institutet , indbød han sig selv til en Afskedsfrokost. Han valgte en af Berlin s bedste Restauranter , sammensatte med stor Omhu Menuen, begyndte med Hummer à l'américaine og bestilte sig en Flaske Liebfrauenmilch .

Dieses schicksalsvolle Entrée vollzog sich ~~ausserden~~ im übrigen sehr sachlich. Die Operationsschwester Marianne empfing die beiden Herren, führte sie in ein blendend weisses, nach allen möglichen Desinfektionsgerüchen duftendes Zimmer, dicht neben dem Operationssaal, dessen Tür offen stand. Ein paar Schwestern schienen alles klar zur Vornahme einer neuen Operation zu machen. Ein starker, etwas süsslicher Geruch von Betäubungsmitteln strömte herein.

This fateful entrance by the way went on quite businesslike. The surgery nurse Marianne received the two gentlemen, lead them into a blindingly white room smelling of all kinds of disinfectants, close to the operating theater, of which the doors stood open. A few nurses seemed busy making preparations for a new operation. A strong, slightly sweet scent of anesthetic wafted in.

ts-trc09p050

Han var meget spændt, men det hele gik rent forretningsmæssigt. De to Herrer blev modtaget af en Sygeplejerske, der førte dem ind i et blændende hvidt og af alle mulige Desinfektionsmidler duftende Værelse lige ved Siden af Operationsstuen, hvortil Døren stod aaben. Et Par Sygeplejersker havde travlt derinde. Det saa ud, som om de var i Færd med at gøre alt klar til en Operation. En stærk sødlig Lugt strømmede ud gennem Døren.

He was very anxious but everything went in a businesslike way. The two gentlemen were received by a nurse who led them into a dazzling white room smelling of all sorts of disinfectants, right next to the operating room to which the door was open. A couple of nurses were busy in there. It looked as if they were in the process of getting everything ready for an operation. A strong, sweetish smell streamed out through the door.

Professor Gebhard was, unfortunately, unable to arrive until nearly six o'clock, and the gentlemen must therefore have a little patience. They would be notified in due course.

The time was scarcely four.

Niel 's

Regularized form: Niels '

face assumed an expression of utter despair. "I can't stand waiting here two hours," he said almost contritely, and intimated that he would like to spend the period of waiting with the patient in the large café situated close at hand.

a1c09p037

Die Uhr war kaum vier. Niels machte ein völlig verzweifeltes Gesicht. "Zwei Stunden halte ich es hier nicht aus," sagte er beinahe zerknirscht, wandte sich dann an Schwester Marianne und erklärte mit dam Patienten ~~ein nahe gelegenes Café die Wartezeit zu verbringen zu wollen~~ in ~~einem~~ dem in der Nähe gelegenen "Romanischen Café" die Wartezeit verbringen zu wollen. Nachdem Andreas hoch und heilig versprochen hatte, sich dann pünktlich wieder einzustellen verliessen sie fast fluchtartig das Sanatorium . Niels hatte es am eiligsten.

tsc09p052

The clock showed barely four. Niels made a completely desperate face. "I can't endure two hours in here," he said, almost contritely, went to nurse Marianne and explained that he would take the patient to the nearby " Romanisches Café "

Note: This is a proper noun, the actual name of the place, which was a widely renowned hangout of German intelligentsia and the literary circles in 1920s in Berlin

to pass the time. After Andreas had solemnly sworn to return on time, the two almost hurriedly left the sanatorium . Niels was in the most hurry.

ts-trc09p052

Klokken var knapt fire, og Niels skar en fortvivlet Grimace.

d1c10p055

It was just before four o'clock and Niels made a despairing face.

d1-trc10p055

"No, really sister, I can't stand it!" he said almost frightened. "Is there any reason why my friend and I cannot go and wait at the Romanisches Café next door?"

Efter at Andreas højt og helligt havde lovet at komme præcis tilbage, fik de Lov til at gaa. Niels saa ud, som om han flygtede.

After Andreas had solemnly promised to come back punctually they were allowed to leave. Niels looked as if he were escaping.

When they had found seats in the café opposite the newspaper stand, Andreas detected a few yards away from them a red-haired cripple , a newspaper boy. Andreas sprang up in a trice and moved backwards towards the cripple , who observed this proceeding with astonishment, for which he received a shilling from Andreas , and then another shilling after Andreas had touched his very solid hump.

Als sie im Café gegenüber den Zeitungssammelfächern einen Platz gefunden hatten, entdeckte Andreas einige Meter von ihnen entfernt einen rothaarigen Krüppel , den "Zeitungschef". Im

After they had found a seat opposite the newspaper stand, Andreas found a red haired cripple only a few meters away from them,

the "newspaper chief"

the "newspaper chief"

Regularized form: "Zeitungschef"

. After that, Andreas sat back down, happily smiling, next to Niels .

ts-trc09p053

Da de i Kaféen havde fundet en Plads lige overfor Avishylderne, opdagede Andreas , at Avismanden , der kun stod nogle Meter fra dem, var rødhaaret og pukkelrygget. I et Nu var han sprunget op og gik baglæns hen mod Manden, der forbavset stirrede paa ham. Andreas gav ham en Mark, lagde et Øjeblik sin Haand paa hans Pukkel og gav ham endnu en Mark. Saa gik han tilbage og satte sig paa sin Stol ved Siden af Niels .

d1c10p058

When they had found a seat in the café right across from the shelves with newspapers, Andreas discovered that the newspaperman who stood only a few meters away from them was red haired and hunchbacked. In an instant he jumped up and walked back towards the man who stared at him in surprise. Andreas gave him a mark, put his hand on his hump for a moment, and gave him another mark. Then he

walked backwards

Regularized form: walked back

towards the man and sat on his chair beside Niels .

"My dear Niels ," he then said by way of answer to his friend's astonished look, "I call that friendship! To bring me in the presence of such a splendid

hump at the eleventh hour. For you know, of course, that such a fellow infallibly brings one luck. A superstition, for aught I care, but now I feel invulnerable. To touch a manly hump works wonders, but a female hump the contrary."

a1c09p039

"Lieber Niels ," sagte er dann als Antwort auf den erstaunten Blick des Freundes, "das nenne ich Freundschaft! Bringst mich 'vor Toresschluss mit einem so prachtvollen Buckel zusammen. Denn du weisst natürlich nicht, dass solch ein Kerl einem Glück bringt, und zwar unfehlbar. Ein südländischer Aberglaube. Meinetwegen. Aber ich fühle mich jetzt jedenfalls gefeit - gegen alles. Richtig kugelsicher. Solch ein mannlicher Buckel, berührt man ihn, wirkt nämlich Wunder. Ein weiblicher Buckel dagegen das Gegenteil."

tsc09p054

"Dear Niels ," he then said as reply to the friend's surprised reaction, "this is what I call friendship! You brought me together with such a magnificent hunchback just at

the eleventh hour

Regularized form: Toresschluss

Note: "Toresschluss" is a German expression to indicate something along the lines of "passing of a last chance" - middle aged childless women are often said to suffer from "Torschlusspanik" - the anxiety of having the chance of being a mother passing, for example.

. Of course you don't know that such a guy is good luck, infallibly. This is a southern superstition. Granted. But I do feel protected now – against everything. Really bulletproof. Such a manly hunchback, when you touch it, works miracles. A female hunchback on the other hand, does quite the opposite."

ts-trc09p054

— Det bringer Lykke, ved Du, sagde han, det er en gammel italiensk Overtro ...... Jeg er ellers ikke overtroisk, men nu føler jeg mig overbevist om, at Operationen vil gaa godt ...... Har man rørt ved en Mandspukkel, er man beskyttet mod alt ondt ...... en Kvindepukkel har derimod lige den modsatte Virkning, den bringer Ulykke.

d1c10p059

"It brings luck, you know," he said, "it is an old Italian superstition ..... I'm not normally superstitious, but now I feel convinced that the operation will go well ...... If you have touched a man's hump, you are protected against all evil ...... a woman's hump on the other hand has just the opposite effect, it brings misfortune."

»Lieber Niels «, sagte er dann als Antwort auf den erstaunten Blick des Freundes, »das nenne ich Freundschaft! Bringst mich vor Toresschluß mit einem so prachtvollen Buckel zusammen.

"Which we will whet with a noble drop of Rhenish wine, as a burial drink so to speak, according to the good old Nordic custom." And already Andreas had ordered from the head waiter a bottle of the very best vintage. "But three glasses, please."

"Of course; the cripple must drink with us." Nor did the red-haired fellow want asking twice. "The like of us is used to plenty of sorrow," replied the hunchback , making a low bow. He seized the proffered glass, and clinked it with that of Andreas : "Your health, my dear sir. May your good soul long survive you!"

a1c09p042

"Natürlich hat der rothaarige Buckel mitzutrinken." Was der Rothaarige sich nicht zweimal sagen liess, wenn er auch den Grund der Einladung nicht recht begriff. "Unsereins ist ja manchen Kummer gewöhnt," erwiderte der Eingeladene unter tiefen Verbeugungen, ergriff das ihm dargebotene Glas und hob es gegen Andreas , "Ihr Wohl, mein Herr!

"Of course, the red haired hunchback must drink with us." Which the redhead didn't need to hear twice, even if he didn't quite understand the occasion of the invitation. "Our kind is used to quite some sorrow," the invited man replied while bowing deeply, clasped the glass and raised it to Andreas , "to your health, dear Sir! May your kind soul long outlive you!"

ts-trc09p058

Det lod Avismanden sig ikke sige to Gange, selv om han ikke fattede Grunden til Indbydelsen.

d1c10p068

"Yes, the hunchback will have a drink with us, of course."

d1-trc10p065

The newspaperman did not hesitate although he did not understand the reason for the invitation.

d1-trc10p066

"One is not usually so well treated," he smiled looking at his hosts. He took his glass, raised it and said addressing Andreas :

"The fellow speaks like a prophet," cried Niels . But Andreas clasped the red-haired cripple in his arms, then released the astonished man and raised his glass. "So be it!" And he clinked his glass with that of the hunchback . When Andreas and Niels at length departed, the red-haired cripple gazed after them, shaking his head.

a1c09p043

"Der Bursche spricht ja wie ein Prophet!" rief Niels und machte grosse Augen. Andreas aber schloss den Rothaarigen in seine Arme, küsste ihn auf beide Wangen, liess den Erstaunten dann wieder los, ~~liess~~ hielt sein Glas hoch, streichelte mit der freien Hand den Buckel des Krüppel s. "Wenn Sie wüssten, was Sie mir mit Ihren schönen Worten geschenkt haben, Sie prachtvoller Geselle! In diesem Sinne!" Und er liess sein Glas gegen das Glas des Buckels klingen. "Alle guten Dinge sind drei!" Und er blickte Niels an. Und Niels verstand den Freund. Und stehend leerten die drei Zecher die Flasche. Und als Andreas mit Niels endlich gingen, sah der Rothaarige ihnen lange und mit ernsten Augen nach.

tsc09p059

"The guy talks like a prophet!" Niels cried out and made big eyes. Andreas enfolded the redhead in his arms, kissed him on both cheeks, and let the surprised man go again, held up his glass, caressed the hump of the cripple with his free hand. "If you knew what you gave to me with those beautiful words, you magnificent chap! In this sense!" And he let his glass clink against the cripple 's. "Three's a charm!" And he looked at Niels . And Niels understood his friend. And standing up the three drinkers emptied the bottle. And once Andreas and Niels finally left, the redhead looked after them for a long time with earnest eyes.

ts-trc09p059

— Bravo! Fyren taler jo som en Profet! raabte Niels og gjorde store Øjne, da han saa sin Ven gribe den Pukkelryggede s Haand og trykke den varmt. Saa hævede Andreas sit Glas og sagde til Avismanden, idet han endnu en Gang med den anden Haand let berørte hans Pukkel:

d1c10p069

— De ved ikke, hvor godt De har gjort mig med Deres Ord ...... Lad os drikke paa, at det maa gaa, som De ønskede det.

"You don't how much good your words have done me ...... Let's drink to the fact that it may go as you wish."

He clinked his glass against the hunchback 's ..... And cheerfully they emptied the rest of the bottle.

Andreas aber schloß den Rothaarigen in seine Arme, ließ den Erstaunten dann wieder los, hielt sein Glas hoch: »In diesem Sinne!« Und er ließ sein Glas gegen das Glas des Buckel s klingen. Als Andreas und Niels endlich gingen, sah der Rothaarige ihnen kopfschüttelnd nach.

He paced up and down. Once, twice, thrice. Without knowing it he began to count his steps. So the room was seven paces long and six paces wide. Then he sat on the bed. He regarded the room. A room in a nursing-home like countless others. Bright walls, and bed and table and cupboard and the two chairs likewise painted a light colour.

Er blickte sich um. Mechanisch, ohne irgend einen klaren Gedanken im Kopf. Er schritt auf und ab. Ein, zwei, dreimal ... Ohne dass er es wusste, begann er seine Schritte zu zählen.

Und Bett und Tisch und Schrank und die beiden Stühle ebenfalls hell gestrichen. -

He looked around. Mechanically, without any clear thought in his head. He paced back and forth. One, two, three times... Without realizing it, he began counting his steps. "So it's seven paces long, and six paces wide," then he sat down on the bed, he took in the room. A hospital room of which there were countless others. Bright walls. And a bed and a table and a wardrobe and both chairs, also painted brightly. –

ts-trc09p063

Han gik mekanisk et Par Gange op og ned ad Gulvet. Der var ingen Tanker i hans Hjerne. Uden at han vidste det, begyndte han at tælle sine Skridt ...... altsaa syv Skridt langt og seks Skridt bredt ...... Han satte sig paa Sengen og saa sig omkring. Det var et Ganske almindeligt Klinikværelse. Lyse Vægge, Seng, Bord og Stole — altsammen hvidmalet. Han begyndte langsomt paa sin Afklædning, og pludselig kom han i Tanker om, at det var sidste Gang, at han, Andreas Sparre , klædte sig af ...... at det var en Afsked, han tog med sin Jakke, sin Vest, sine Benklæder osv. ...... En hel Menneskealder var han gaaet klædt i dette Tøj, og efterhaanden som han tog det af, saa han længe paa hvert enkelt Stykke ...... Han anbragte Frakken over Vesten paa en Bøjle, som han hængte ind i Skabet, saaledes som han havde plejet at gøre siden ...... ja, siden hvornaar? Han sad stadig længe og betragtede hvert af sine Klædningsstykker og strøg med Haanden henover dem ...... Hvad skal der blive af Jer, spurgte han bittert smilende, og hvad skal der blive af mig? ...... hvem af os skal overleve den anden ...... jeg? I? Mine stakkels Klæ-

der ...... Jer havde jeg helt glemt at tænke paa ...... maaske betragter I mig som en Forræder imod Jer ......

d1c11p008

He walked mechanically up and down the floor a few times. There were no thoughts in his brain. Without knowing it he began to count his steps ......that's seven paces long and six paces wide ...... He sat on the bed and looked around. It was a quite ordinary hospital room. Bright walls, bed, table and chairs – all painted white. He slowly started his undressing and suddenly he remembered that this was the last time that he, Andreas Sparre , undressed ...... that he was taking leave of his jacket, his vest his trousers, etc. ...... For a whole lifetime he had been dressed in these clothes, and as he took them off he looked at each piece for a long time ...... He placed the coat over the vest on a hanger that he hung in the closet as he had usually done since ...... Yes, since when? He still sat for a long time looking at each of his garments and passing his hand over them ...... What will become of you, he asked smiling bitterly, and what will become of me? ...... which one of us will survive the other ..... I? You? My poor clothes

...... I had completely forgotten to think of you ...... perhaps you consider me a traitor to you .....

Er schritt auf und ab. Ein-, zwei-, dreimal . . . Ohne daß er es wußte, begann er seine Schritte zu zählen. »Also sieben Schritte lang und sechs Schritte breit.« Dann setzte er sich auf das Bett. Er betrachtete das Zimmer. Ein Klinikzimmer wie es unzählige gibt. Helle Wände. Und Bett und Tisch und Schrank und die beiden Stühle ebenfalls hell gestrichen. –

g1c09p047

And then he began to undress very slowly. Suddenly it occurred to him that he, Andreas Sparre , was probably undressing for the last time . . . that what was now taking place was a farewell to coat and waistcoat and trousers and so on and so on. For a lifetime these coverings of coat and waistcoat and trousers had enclosed him. He contemplated the articles of clothing, one after another, as he took them off; he hung the coat over the waistcoat, and then both upon the hanger in the cupboard, as he had been accustomed to do since . . . yes, since when? He stretched the trousers in the trouser-press, and looked at one article after another, and stroked each in turn. "What will become of you? What will become of me? Which of us here will survive the other? I—myself? I—you? . . . Coat, waistcoat, trousers, shoes, underclothes, socks. . . ."

a1c09p049

Und dann begann er sich zu entkleiden, sehr langsam. Denn plötzlich fiel ihm ein, dass er, Andreas Sparre , sich wohl zum letzten Male entkleidete ...., dass es ein Abschiednehmen war, was hier vor sich ging, ein Abschiednehmen von Rock und Weste und Beinkleidern und so weiter ... und so weiter. Ein Menschenleben lang hatte diese Hülle von Rock und Weste und Beinkleidern und so weiter ihn umschlossen ... Er betrachtete die Kleidungsstücke, eins naoh dem andern, im Ablegen, er hing den Rock über die Weste und dann beides auf den Bügel im Sohrank, so, wie er es gewohnt war seit ... Ja, seit wann? Er spannte die Beinkleider in den Hosenbügel ... betrachtete und betrachtete Stück für Stück n und streichelte Stück für Stück. "Was wird aus euch werden?" fragte er lächelnd. "Was wird aus mir werden?" Er strich sich über die Stirn. "Wer von uns hier wird den andern überleben? Jhr mich? Ich euch? .... Rock, Weste, Hose ... Schuhe, Unterkleider, Stümpfe, fast hätt ich euch vergessen ..."

And then he began to undress, very slowly. Because he suddenly realized that he, Andreas Sparre , was disrobing for the final time...., that what was happening here was a sort of leave taking, a farewell to coat and vest and trousers... and so on. This shell of coat, vest and trousers had encased him for a lifetime... He looked on the articles of clothing, one after the other, while taking them off, he hung the coat over the vest, and then put both on hangers in the wardrobe, the way he was used to, since... Yes, since when? He stretched the trousers on a pants-hanger... gazed and gazed on them piece by piece and caressed them piece by piece. "What will become of you?" he asked, smiling. "What will become of me?" He rubbed his forehead. "Which one of us here will survive the other? You me? Me you? .... Coat, vest, trousers... shoes, underwear, socks, I almost forgot about you..."

...... I had completely forgotten to think of you ...... perhaps you consider me a traitor to you .....

d1-trc11p008

Und dann begann er sich zu entkleiden, sehr langsam. Denn plötzlich fiel ihm ein, daß er, Andreas Sparre , sich wohl zum letzten Male entkleidete . . ., daß es ein Abschiednehmen war, was hier vor sich ging, ein Abschiednehmen von Rock und Weste und Beinkleidern und so weiter . . . und so weiter. Ein Menschenleben lang hatte diese Hülle von Rock und Weste und Beinkleidern und so weiter ihn umschlossen . . . Er betrachtete die Kleidungsstücke, eins nach dem andern, im Ablegen, er hing den Rock über die Weste und dann beides auf den Bügel im Schrank, so, wie er es gewohnt war seit . . . ja, seit wann?

And he picked up his hat off the table. "You too. I had almost forgotten you. Who else have I forgotten?" And he slipped his hand in the inside

pocket of his coat, took out a picture, and stood it on the table against the wall. " Grete ," he said, and started to stroke the picture. A knock was heard and the door was opened. Professor Gebhard entered, accompanied by his assistant doctor . A few questions were addressed to Andreas , with the result that, to his surprise, the performance of the "first operation", which involved no danger whatever, as the Professor explained, had to be postponed to the following morning. "' Gravol ' is what you call such farewell celebrations in the North," laughed the Professor . "Your friend has already betrayed to me the Rhenish wine. Congratulations! You seem to know your way about there. But operations of this kind are best performed on an empty stomach. In a few hours' time we will give you a sleeping-draught, so that the time between now and to-morrow morning will not seem too long to you. And now, courage." A handshake—and Andreas was again alone.

a1c09p050

Und so sass er lange, wie im Kreise von le Gefährten, denen lebewohl gesagt werden muss. "Vielleicht seht ihr in mir einen Überläufer ..." Und jetzt nahm er seinen Hut vom Tisch. "Du auch ... Dich hätt ich beinahe ganz vergessen ... Wen ich wohl sonst noch vergessen habe? ..."

tsc09p065

Und er fasste in die innere Rocktasche, nahm ein Bild heraus, stellte es auf den Tisch, gegen die Wand lehnte er es. " Gret h e ," sagte er, wollte das Bild gerade streicheln. Da klopfte es, und schon wurde die

Tür geöffnet: Professor G. trat ein, in Begleitung seines jungen Assistenzarztes . Einige Fragen wurden an Andreas gerichtet, mit dem Ergebnis, dass zu seiner Überraschung die Vornahme der "ersten Operation, die übrigens völlig ungefährlich sei," wie der Professor leichthin erklärte, auf den nächsten Vormittag verschoben werden müsste, "Sie nennen solche Abschiedsfeiern bei Ihnen im Norden 'Gravöl', "lachte der Professor ." Ihr Freund hat mir bereits die Rheinweinmarke von vorhin verraten. Mein Kompliment. Sie scheinen auf diesem Gebiet bewandert zu sein. Aber dergleichen "Eingriffe" nimmt man am besten bei leerem Magen vor. Damit Ihnen aber bis morgen die Zeit nicht zu lang wird, werden wir Ihnen in ein paar Stunden ein Schlafmittel geben. Und nun guten Mut." Ein Händeschütteln, - und er war wieder allein.

tsc09p066

And so he sat there a long time, as if among companions who had to be bid farewell. "Maybe you see a traitor in me..." And now he took his hat off the table. "You too... I almost completely forgot about you... I wonder who else I have forgotten? ..."

ts-trc09p065

And he reached into the inner coat pocket, took a picture out, put it on the table, leaning it against the wall. " Grete ," he said, just about to caress the picture. And then there was a knock on the door, and already it was

opened: Professor G. entered, accompanied by his young assistant doctor . A few questions were directed at Andreas , with the result that to his surprise the execution of the "first operation, which is completely harmless," as the doctor explained casually, had to be postponed until the next morning. "You refer to such farewell parties as 'Gravöl' up ," the Professor laughed. "Your friend already told me the brand of Rhenish wine from earlier. My compliments. You seem to be well versed in these matters. But such "procedures" are better done on an empty stomach. So that the time until tomorrow will not be too boring for you, we will give you a sleeping aid in a few hours. And now,

good courage

Regularized form: guten Mut

." A handshake, -and he was alone again.

ts-trc09p066

Saaledes sad han længe som en Døende, der tager Afsked med sine Omgivelser ...... Han tog sin Hat, der laa paa Bordet.

d1c11p009

— Du ogsaa ...... Dig havde jeg næsten glemt ...... Er der ikke ogsaa andet, som jeg har glemt? ......

Han undersøgte sin Jakke og tog fra den indvendige Brystlomme et Billede, som han stillede paa Bordet, lænet op mod Væggen.

d1c11p011

— Grete ! sagde han blødt, og vilde lige til at kærtegne det, da det bankede.

d1c11p012

Døren blev aabnet, og Overlægen traadte ind, ledsaget af en ung Reservelæge .

d1c11p013

— Naa, hvorledes har De tilbragt Dagen? spurgte Dr. Gebhardt ham i en løst henkastet Tone, jeg hører, De har drukket Gravøl ...... det var ret overflødigt, for denne indledende Operation kan betragtes som ganske ufarlig, men det glæder mig, at De har Forstand paa Vin. Deres Ven har fortalt mig, hvilket Mærke De har drukket ...... Det er bare lidt kedeligt, at det tvinger mig til at opsætte Operationen til i Morgen tidlig ...... den Slags Indgreb skal helst foretages, naar Maven er tom. Men for at Tiden ikke skal forekomme Dem alt for lang, skal De faa noget at sove paa til Natten ...... God Nat og godt Mod!

d1c11p014

Overlægen gav ham et let Haandtryk, og han var atter alene.

d1c11p015

He sat for a long time like this, like a dying man taking leave of his surroundings ...... He took his hat, which lay on the table.

d1-trc11p009

"You too ...... I had almost forgotten you ...... Haven't I forgotten other things? ......"

d1-trc11p010

He examined his jacket and took a picture from the inside breast pocket that he put on the table leaning against the wall.

d1-trc11p011

" Grete !" he said softly and was just going to caress it when there was a knock.

d1-trc11p012

The door was opened, and the senior physician entered accompanied by a young assistant doctor .

d1-trc11p013

"Well, how have you spent the day?" Dr. Gebhardt

Note: Here Gebhardt is spelled with a "t" in the Danish edition; elsewhere it is spelled without the "t" as in the American edition.

asked him casually, "I hear that you've had a funeral feast ...... that was rather unnecessary as this initial surgery can be considered quite safe, but I'm glad that you appreciate wine. Your friend has told me which brand you drank ...... It's just a little unfortunate that it forces me to postpone the operation until tomorrow morning ...... this kind of procedure should be performed when the stomach is empty. But in order that the time will not seem too long I'll give you a sedative for the night ...... Good night and take courage!"

d1-trc11p014

Doctor Gebhard gave him a light handshake and he was once again alone.

d1c11p017

" Grete , Grete ," he stammered, then he fell back into the white pillows and for the first time really felt how tired and exhausted he was. The hectic days in Berlin only now reached his consciousness ...... Finally he was allowed to admit that his strength was spent ...... now no one saw him, not even Grete , and the last remnant of male defiance in which he had sought refuge from his friends and the doctors during these painful days, as in a heavy and cumbersome armour, now fell from him.

Und da erst fiel ihm ein, dass sie von der bevorstehenden Operation nichts ahnte. Sie glaubte, er würde hier in Berlin nur untersucht, unter Beobachtung gestellt werden. Nur ein paar Postkarten hatte er von ihr erhalten. Nach Dresden wollte sie in den nächsten Tagen kommen, ihm dort zur Seite stehen ... bei der ersten Operation ... Ob er ihr doch ein Telegramm senden sollte? War es nicht unrecht, ihr, was ihm morgen bevorstand, zu verheimlichen? Nein, wozu sie ängstigen? Er selbst hatte ja auch nicht gewusst, dass sich hier in Berlin sein Schicksal

bereitsvollenden

And only then he remembered that she had no idea of the impending surgery. She believed he would only be examined here in Berlin , put under observation. He had only received a few postcards from her. She wanted to come to Dresden in the coming days, to stay by his side... during the first operation... Should he send her a telegram still? Wasn't it wrong to keep what was about to happen to him tomorrow a secret? But no, why scare her? He himself had had no idea that his fate was about to be accomplished here in Berlin already... Accomplished.... He had to smile. "I am ready..." And there he recalled the words of the redhead ... "May your soul survive

me a long time..."

ts-trc09p072

Saa faldt det ham ind, at han ikke vidste noget som helst om,

hvori den forestaaende Operation bestod ...... han havde troet, at han her i Berlin kun skulde undersøges og stilles under Lægernes Observation ...... Og Grete troede det stadig ...... kun et Par Postkort havde han faaet fra hende. Det var blevet bestemt, at hun skulde tage direkte til Dresden for at være hos ham, naar Professor Werner Kreutz havde opereret ham ...... Skulde han ikke sende hende et Telegram? Var det ikke forkert af ham at holde det, der skulde foregaa i Morgen, hemmeligt for hende? Nej, hvorfor skulde han gøre hende ængstelig — han havde jo ikke selv ventet, at hans, Andreas Sparre s, Skæbne, skulde afsluttes her i Berlin ...... Afsluttes? ...... Han maatte smile: Jeg er jo sikker nok ...... Han tænkte paa den Pukkelryggede og paa hans Ord.

d1c11p019

Then it occurred to him that he did not know anything about

what the first operation consisted of ...... he had thought that here in Berlin he was only to be examined and put under the observation of the doctors ...... And Grete still thought so ...... he had received only a few postcards from her. It had been decided that she would go directly to Dresden to be with him when Professor Kreutz had operated on him ...... Shouldn't he send her a telegram? Wasn't it wrong of him to keep what was going to happen tomorrow a secret from her? No, why should he make her anxious – he had not himself expected that his, Andreas Sparre 's, fate was to end here in Berlin ...... End? ...... He had to smile: I'm all right ...... He thought of the hunchback and of his words.

Kaum hatte er notdürftig Toilette gemacht, als Professor Arns bereits neben seinem Bett stand und ihn bat, eine Erklärung zu unterschreiben, in der stand, daß er, Andreas Sparre , auf eignen Wunsch und eigne Gefahr operiert werden wolle, und daß bei einem eventuellen ungünstigen Ausfall Professor Gebhard von jeglicher Verantwortung entbinde . . .

"With pleasure," he declared, and he immediately signed the document which was addressed to some high authority, and which said in effect: "In case I die, I renounce all right to make any difficulties hereafter." "But may I not add a few words of thanks to the German doctors," he asked suddenly, "who are going to make an attempt to save me?"

a1c09p061

"Mit Vergnügen," erklärte er, unterschrieb sogleich das Schriftstück,

das an irgend eine hohe Behörde adressiert war und auf gut Deutsch besagte: Falls ich sterbe, verzichte ich hiermit auf jedes Recht, hinterdrein Schwierigkeiten zu machen ... "Aber darf ich nicht ein paar Dankworte an die deutschen Ärzte hinzufügen," bat er plötzlich, "die den Versuch unternehmen wollen, mich zu retten?" Diese Bitte wurde lächelnd abgeschlagen, worauf sich der Professor mit den Worten, "Die Operation findet in wenigen Minuten statt, ich wohne ihr auf Wunsch von Professor Kreutz bei, also Glück auf," zurückzog.

tsc09p079

"Delighted to do so," he exclaimed, signing the document immediately,

which was addressed to some government agency and said in plain German: If I die, I forgo any right to cause any difficulties after... "But can't I add a few words of gratitude to the German doctors?" he asked, all of a sudden, "those who tried to save me?" This plea was refused with a smile, upon which the doctor retreated with the words: "The operation will take place in a few minutes, I will attend upon the wish of Professor Kreutz , good luck."

Note: "Glück auf!" is the traditional greeting formula of German underground miners, so this is more than just "good luck," but really impossible to translate differently.

— Med Fornøjelse, sagde han, og skrev straks under paa Erklæringen, der var rettet til en eller anden højere Myndighed, idet han tænkte:

— Det vil med andre Ord sige, at hvis jeg dør, saa kan det ikke nytte, at jeg kommer og gør Vrøvl bagefter.

"With pleasure," he said, and immediately signed the statement that was addressed to some higher authority, thinking:

"In other words, this means that if I die it's no use that I come and make a fuss afterwards."

"Can't I add a few lines?" he asked. "I so much want to express my gratitude to the German doctors because they will ty to save me."

Und in diesem Augenblick, auf der Schwelle zu dem Unbekannten, erinnerte er sich plötzlich einee Wintertages in Paris : müde und elend stand er zufällig vor einer uralten Kirche, - Saint Germain des Prés . ~~Nie vorher hatte er sie gesehen.~~ Er ging hinein, um in dem milden, nach Weihrauch duftenden Dämmerlicht des frommen Hauses auszuruhen, unter den ehrwürdigen Gewölben, die so vieler, vieler Generationen Hoffen und Leiden gesehen hatten. Ein Pfeiler trug ein seltsam schönes, gothisches Bildwerk: eine Madonna. Dort war er stehen geblieben. Und er, der längst das Beten verlernt hatte, sank zwischen ein paar alten Frauen auf die Knie nieder, faltete inbrünstig die Hände

und flehte zur Madonna:

And in that moment, on the boundary to the unknown, he suddenly remembered a winter day in Paris : tired and miserable he randomly stood in front of an ancient church,- Saint Germain de Prés . He had never seen it before. He entered, to relax in the mild, incense fragrant, low light of the godly house, beneath the venerable arches, that had seen the hopes and sufferings of so many generations. A pillar carried an oddly beautiful gothic sculpture: a Madonna. He had stopped there. And he, who long since had forgotten how to pray, sank on his knees between a couple of old women, devoutly folded his hands

and begged the Madonna:

Og i dette Øjeblik, hvor han stod paa Tærsklen til det ukendte, kom han pludselig i Tanker om en Vinterdag i Paris .

Han havde aldrig været der før, men han var gaaet derind for at hvile i det ærværdige Rums røgelsesduftende Skumring under de høje Hvælvinger, der havde set ned paa saa mange Slægtleds Haab og Lidelser. Paa en af Pillerne hang et ejendommeligt og meget smukt, gotisk Billede: en Madonna . Dèr var han blevet staaende, og han, der siden sin Barndom aldrig havde bedt en Bøn, og som ansaa sig selv for at være fuldstændig irreligiøs, havde knælet mellem et Par gamle Koner, foldet sine Hænder og bedt til den gotiske Madonna :

And in this moment when he was on the threshold of the unknown, he suddenly remembered a winter day in Paris . Tired and miserable, tormented by pain, he had sought refuge in the old church, Saint Germain des Prés . He had never been there before, but he had gone there to rest in the incense scented twilight of the venerable room under the high vaults that had looked down on the hopes and sufferings of so many generations. On one of the pillars hung a peculiar and very beautiful gothic picture: a Madonna . There he had stopped and he who since his childhood had never said a prayer and who considered himself to be completely irreligious had knelt between a pair of old women, folded his hands, and prayed to the gothic Madonna :

Und jetzt lag er hier in Berlin und wartete auf den ~~Anfang~~ Beginn des Wunders. Hatte die Madonna wirklich sein Gebet erhört? - - Als er Paris verlassen hatte, fand er in seiner Rocktasche eine alte spanische Miniatur-Madonna in Silber. In Sevilla hatte Grete sie in einem Trödlerkeller gefunden. Glücklich hatte sie ihm das Schmuckstückchen gezeigt. "Du," hatte sie gesagt, "ich glaube, diese kleine, süsse Madonna wollte zu uns kommen. Jetzt soll sie unser Talisman sein." - Und seitdem hatte Grete die silberne Madonna Tag und Nacht an einem Kettchen getragen. Und ohne dass er es gemerkt, hatte sie ihm das fromme Bildnis zugesteckt ... Und er küsste leise seine Madonna.

Gaily she had shown him the piece of jewelry. "Hey you," she had said, "I think this tiny, sweet Madonna wanted to come with us. Now she should be our talisman."- And since then, Grete had worn the Madonna on a small necklace. And without him noticing, she had put the idol in his pocket... And he quietly kissed his Madonna.

When Andreas woke up again, in violent pain, it was almost noon. He opened his eyes with a shriek. Gradually he realized that he was lying in his bed. It seemed to him as if he had been crying out for a long time, as if he were resisting something. Two nurses were standing beside him and speaking soothing words. When he recovered consciousness he felt the pains growing more violent. With an effort he regained control of himself and clenched his teeth. He would leave off screaming. And, in fact, he screamed no more.

He tried to suppress his cough, he had never imagined that coughing could be so extremely painful. But he did not succeed. One of the nurses sat beside the bed and looked at him in bewilderment ...... she dared not give him something to drink.

d1-trc11p047

Gegen Abend wachte er durch einen Hustenanfall auf. Ihm war, als sollte sein ganzer Körper zerrissen werden. Der Husten war fürchterlich. Er versuchte, ihn zu unterdrücken. Es gelang nicht.

g1c09p068

At last the fit was over, and he lay exhausted.

The nurses

Regularized form: The nurse

wiped the perspiration off his forehead. "You must have smoked a lot?" she asked. "Perhaps even yesterday."

a1c09p071

Endlich war der Anfall überstanden. Erschöpft lag er da. Die Schwester wischte ihm den Schweiss von der Stirn. "Sie haben gewiss ~~in d~~ viel geraucht?" fragte sie. "Vielleicht sogar noch gestern ..."

tsc09p096

Finally the coughing fit was over. He lay there, exhausted. The nurse wiped the sweat from his brow. "You have certainly smoked a lot?" she asked. "Maybe even yesterday..."

ts-trc09p096

Endelig var Anfaldet overstaaet. Han var ganske udmattet. Sygeplejersken tørrede Sveden af hans Pande.

d1c11p049

Finally the fit was over. He was quite exhausted. The nurse wiped the sweat off his brow.

d1-trc11p048

"I suppose you have smoked a lot," she said, "perhaps even yesterday."

d1-trc11p049

Endlich war der Anfall überstanden. Erschöpft lag er da. Die Schwester wischte ihm den Schweiß von der Stirn. »Sie haben gewiß viel geraucht?« fragte sie. »Vielleicht sogar noch gestern . . .«

g1c09p069

On the table by the bed lay a cigarette-case.

a1c09p072

Auf dem Tisch neben dem Bett liegt eine Schachtel Zigaretten.

tsc09p097

On the table next to the bed there was a pack of cigarettes.

ts-trc09p097

Paa Bordet ved Siden af ham laa en Pakke Cigaretter.

d1c11p050

On the table beside him lay a package of cigarettes.

d1-trc11p050

Auf dem Tisch neben dem Bett lag eine Schachtel Zigaretten.

g1c09p070

"Throw them out of the window, Nurse . I will never put a cigarette or cigar in my lips again." The nurse smilingly removed the cigarette-case. "Don't forget your vow!"

a1c09p073

"Nehmen Sie sie weg. Schmeissen Sie sie aus dem Fenster, Schwester . Ich kann das Zeug nicht mehr sehen. Nie im Leben kommt mir eine Zigarette oder Zigarre wieder an die Lippen." Wie einen Eid stösst er diese Worte aus. Lachend hat die Schwester die Schachtel an sich genommen. "Vergessen Sie nur nicht Ihr en Gelübde!"

tsc09p098

"Take them away. Throw them out the window, Nurse . I can't see the stuff anymore. Never again will a cigarette or a cigar touch my lips." Like an oath he exclaims these words. Laughing the nurse took the pack. "Don't you forget your vow!"

ts-trc09p098

— Tag dem væk, smid det Stads ud af Vinduet, bad han, aldrig i mit Liv vil jeg ryge mere ...... det sværger jeg Dem til.

d1c11p051

"Take them away, throw that rubbish out the window," he asked, "I'll never smoke again in my life ...... I swear to it."

d1-trc11p051

»Schmeißen Sie sie aus dem Fenster, Schwester . Nie im Leben kommt mir eine Zigarette oder Zigarre wieder an die Lippen.« Lachend nahm die Schwester die Schachtel an sich. »Vergessen Sie nur nicht Ihr Gelübde!«

g1c09p071

"I swear it to you and to me." And he thought of the cigar which Inger had taken from him yesterday. It was the very last cigar which Andreas had smoked.

a1c09p074

"Das schwöre ich Ihnen und mir." Und er muss an die Importe denken, die Frau Inger ihm gestern fortgenommen hat. Es war die allerletzte Zigarre

die Andreas geraucht hat ...

tsc09p099

"I swear to you, and to myself." And he thought of the imports that Miss Inger had taken from him yesterday. It was the very last cigar

Andreas had smoked...

ts-trc09p099

Og han kom til at tænke paa Cigaren, som Inger i Gaar havde

taget fra ham — det var Andreas ' allersidste Cigar ...... Et nyt Hosteanfald senere paa Aftenen forøgede hans Modvilje mod Tobaken. Han kunde aldrig mere tænke sig at tage en Cigaret ...... og denne Afsky for at ryge gik i Arv til Lili .

d1c11p052

And he remembered the cigar that Inger had

taken from him yesterday – it was Andreas ' very last cigar ...... A new fit of coughing later in the evening increased his aversion to tobacco. He could not imagine ever taking a cigarette again ...... and this distaste for smoking was passed on to Lili .

d1-trc11p052

»Das schwöre ich Ihnen und mir.« Und er mußte an die Importe denken, die Frau Inger ihm gestern fortgenommen hatte. Es war die allerletzte Zigarre, die Andreas geraucht hat . . .

g1c09p072

Fresh fits of coughing in the course of the evening deepened his sudden hatred of tobacco to such an extent that the very idea of tobacco filled him with nausea. And this fanatical aversion from the enjoyment of tobacco in every form he inherited from Lili .

a1c09p075

Einige neue Hustenanfülle im Laufe des Abends vertieften seine plötzliche Feindschaft gegen alles, was Tabak heisst, so sehr, dass schon der Gedanke an Tabaksrauch in ihm Übelkeit hervorrief. - Und diese geradezu fanatische Abneigung gegen jeglichen Tabaksgenuss hat er ~~auf~~ Lili vererbt ...

tsc09p100

A few more coughing spells during the night deepened his newfound animosity to anything tobacco related, so much so that the thought of tobacco smoke alone made him nauseous. – And this almost fanatical dislike of any enjoyment of tobacco he passed on to Lili ...

Niels was permitted to look in on him for a moment.

Niels wurde für einige Augenblicke zu ihm gelassen.

"You're going on fine, what?" he began immediately.

"Das geht ja grossartig mit dir," begann er sofort.

"This is going really well with you," he began immediately.

"Well, you are doing splendidly," he said.

d1-trc11p054

»Das geht ja großartig mit dir«, begann er sofort.

g1c09p075

"Oh, yes." More than that Andreas could not bring himself to say. Niels looked at the nurse in astonishment.

a1c09p078

"Ach ja," mehr vermochte Andreas nicht über die Lippen zu bringen.

tsc09p103

Niels sah die Schwester erstaunt an.

tsc09p104

"Well yes," Andreas couldn't say anything else.

ts-trc09p103

Niels looked at the nurse , puzzled.

ts-trc09p104

— Aah, ja, men det gør ondt, svarede Andreas , og ved Lyden af hans Stemme saa Niels forbavset paa Sygeplejersken .

d1c11p055

"Oh yes, but it hurts," Andreas answered, and at the sound of his voice Niels looked at the nurse in astonishment.

d1-trc11p055

»Ach ja«, mehr vermochte Andreas nicht über die Lippen zu bringen. Niels sah die Schwester erstaunt an.

g1c09p076

She whispered to him: "I suppose you are surprised at the clear voice."

a1c09p079

Sie flüsterte ihm zu: "Sie wundern sich gewiss über die helle Sopranstimme ..."

tsc09p105

She whispered to him: "You probably wonder about the bright soprano voice..."

ts-trc09p105

— Ja, hviskede hun, det er en helt anden Stemme.

d1c11p056

"Yes," she whispered, "it's a completely different voice."

d1-trc11p056

Sie flüsterte ihm zu: »Sie wundern sich gewiß über die helle Stimme . . .«

g1c09p077

Niels nodded. "I cannot recognize it."

Niels nickte. "Nicht zum Wiedererkennen ..."

tsc09p106

Niels nodded. "Barely recognizable..."

ts-trc09p106

Niels nickte. »Nicht zum Wiedererkennen . . .«

g1c09p078

Then he sat on the one chair next to the bed. " Inger sends you her greetings. Otherwise . . ."

a1c09p081

Dann setzte er sich auf den einen Stuhl neben dem Bett. "Ich soll von Inger Grüsse bestellen. Sie bringt dir morgen früh etwas sehr Hübsches. Du wirst Augen machen. Im übrigen ..."

tsc09p107

Then he sat down in the one chair beside the bed. "I bring greetings from Inger , she'll bring you something very pretty in the morning. Furthermore …"

ts-trc09p107

Niels satte sig paa Stolen hos Andreas :

d1c11p057

— Jeg har mange Hilsener fra Inger ...... hun kommer i Morgen tidlig, og hun skal nok tage noget med, som Du vil blive glad for ...... Men hvad er der i Vejen?

d1c11p058

Niels sat down on the chair by Andreas :

d1-trc11p057

" Inger sends her warmest regards ...... she'll come tomorrow morning, and she'll bring something that will please you ...... But what is the matter?"

d1-trc11p058

Dann setzte er sich auf den einen Stuhl neben dem Bett. »Ich soll von Inger Grüße bestellen. Im übrigen . . .«

Da unterbricht Andreas ihn: " Niels , du nimmst es mir gewiss nicht übel ..

"Aber was denn?"

"Nicht sprechen .... ich hab solche Schmerzen ..."

tsc09p110

"Don't talk.... I'm in such pain..."

ts-trc09p110

❡

The nurse gave a hint. Niels stole out of the sick-room. And Andreas whimpered: " Nurse , give me an injection. . . ." It was not the only one he had during the night. It was an endless agonizing night. Not until dawn did he manage to go off into a short heavy sleep. By the time he was fully awake, about noon, he felt as weak as one who had been wandering through a desert. But the pains seemed to have become more remote.

a1c09p082

Die Schwester gab ihm einen Wink. Er ging leise aus dem Krankenzimmer hinaus. Und Andreas wimmerte: " Schwester , geben Sie mir eine Spritze ..."

tsc09p111

Und es war nicht die einzige, die er während ~~der~~ dieser Nacht bekam. Es war eine endlose, qualvolle Nacht. Erst gegen Morgen fand er kurzen, dumpfen Schlaf. Und aus dem Schlaf heraus hörte die bei Ihm wachende Schwester wieder und immer wieder seinen verströmenden Hilferuf: "Bitte, bitte, geben Sie mir eine Spritze."

tsc09p112

The nurse gave him a hint. He quietly left the room. Andreas whimpered: " Nurse , give me an injection..."

ts-trc09p111

And that one would not be the only injection he got that night. It was an endless, arduous night. Only when morning approached did he find a dull, short sleep. And out of that sleep the nurse heard the same pleading call again and again: "Please, please give me another injection."

ts-trc09p112

Sygeplejersken gav Niels et Vink. Han listede sig ud af Værelset, og Andreas tiggede og bad om at faa en ny Indsprøjtning ...... Han fik adskillige i Nattens Løb.

d1c11p060

Den følgende Dag følte han sig saa udmattet som efter en Ørkenvandring. Smerterne var der endnu, men de var blevet fjernere og mere dæmpede, i det mindste saa længe han ikke bevægede sig.

d1c11p061

The nurse beckoned to Niels . He tiptoed out of the room, and Andreas begged to have a new injection ...... He had several in the course of the night.

d1-trc11p060

The following day he felt as exhausted as after wandering through a desert. The pains were still there, but they had become more distant and more subdued, at least as long as he did not move.

d1-trc11p061

Die Schwester gab einen Wink. Niels ging aus dem Krankenzimmer hinaus. Und Andreas wimmerte: » Schwester , geben Sie mir eine Spritze . . .« Es war nicht die einzige, die er während dieser Nacht bekam. Es war eine endlose, qualvolle Nacht. Erst gegen Morgen fand er kurzen, dumpfen Schlaf.

Als er gegen Mittag völlig erwacht war, fühlte er sich kraftlos wie nach einer Wüstenwanderung. Doch die Schmerzen waren gleichsam ferner geworden.

g1c09p081

❡

— De skal slet ikke tænke paa, at det gør ondt, sagde Sygeplejersken , De skal bare ligge stille og ikke røre Dem.

d1c11p062

"Do not think about the pain at all," the nurse said, "just lie still and don't move."

d1-trc11p062

❡

Only now and then the question would surge up in his mind, "Who am I? What am I? What was I? What shall I become?"

a1c09p083

❡

— »Bare ligge stille, ikke røre Dem.« Som et Barn blev han ved med at gentage Ordene ...... Kun nu og da dukkede et Spørgsmaal frem i ham: Hvem er jeg? ...... Hvad er jeg?

d1c11p063

"Just lie still and don't move." Like a child he kept on repeating the words ...... Only now and then a question rose to the surface in him: Who am I ...... What am I?

d1-trc11p063

Nur dann und wann zuckte ein Fragen in ihm auf: »Wer bin ich . . . was bin ich . . . was war . . . was wird . . .?«

g1c09p082

Soon afterwards Inger came—with flowers and a large bottle of eau-de-Cologne. Flowers! How their scent transformed the sick-room!

a1c09p084

Da kam Frau Inger , - mit Blumen und einer grossen Flasche Eau de Cologne. Beide Hände streckte ~~Einar~~ Andreas entgegen. Blumen! Wie ihr Duft das Krankenzimmer

tsc09p115

Then Miss Inger entered, - carrying flowers and a large bottle of Eau de Cologne. She extended both hands towards Andreas . Flowers! How their scent transformed the hospital room! He pressed his pale face into the colors of the flowers like someone dying of thirst.

ts-trc09p115

Næste Morgen kom Inger med en stor Flaske Eau de Cologne og friske Blomster, hvis Duft fyldte Sygeværelset. Som en tørstende dukkede han sit Ansigt ned mellem Blomsterne. Aldrig i sit Liv havde han tænkt sig, at Blomsterduft kunde være en saa himmelsk Gave.

d1c11p064

The next morning Inger came with a big bottle of Eau de Cologne and fresh flowers whose scent filled the sickroom. As a thirsty person he put his face among the flowers. Never in his life had he imagined that the smell of flowers could be such a heavenly gift.

d1-trc11p064

Dann kam Frau Inger , – mit Blumen und einer großen Flasche Eau de Cologne. Blumen! Wie ihr Duft das Krankenzimmer verwandelte!

g1c09p083

"Drench me with eau-de-Cologne, Inger ! Sprinkle it all over the room!" he cried, almost beside himself with joy.

a1c09p085

"Ach, mich mit Eau de Cologne übergiessen, Frau Inger ! Das ganze Zimmer durchträufeln!" rief er fast ausser sich vor Freude über ihr Kommen und ihre Gaben.Nie im Leben hat er gewusst, welch Himmelsgeschenk Blumenduft ist.

tsc09p116

"Oh, pour cologne over me, Miss Inger ! Shower the entire room!" he exclaimed beside himself with joy about her arrival and her gifts. He never knew what a gift from the heavens the scent of flowers was.

d1-trc11p064

»Ach, mich mit Eau de Cologne übergießen, Frau Inger ! Das ganze Zimmer durchträufeln!« rief er fast außer sich vor Freude.

g1c09p084

Then she sat on the bed next to him and began to talk in confident tones. She, who had previously always addressed him as "you" now used the more intimate "thou". He did not realize until many days later that during these first days she never once called him by any name.

a1c09p086

Und wie gut Frau Inger war. Lautlos und lächelnd durchschwebte sie gleichsam den kleinen, schmucklosen Raum, - fast wie ein Mütterchen, dachte er, sie beobachtend, als sie sogleich eine Vase für den Blumenstrauss, sich von der Schwester besorgen liess, legte ein buntes Tüchlein, das sie heimlich aus ihrem Täschchen hervorholte, auf den Tisch, stellte dann die Vase mit dem Strauss auf die Fensterbank, blieb vor dem Fenster stehen und betrachtete den kranken Freund. Und dann setzte sie sich zu ihm ans Bett, streichelte die bleichen, zuckenden Hände des Kranken, sprach leise und zuversichtlich zu ihm, und siehe, er vergass Schmerzen und Ängste, - und sie, die früher immer "Sie" zu Ihm gesagt hatte, sprach jetzt im vertraulichen Du zu ihm. Das fiel ihm erst viele Tage später ein. Und sie nannte ihn während dieser ersten Tage nie bei Namen ...

tsc09p117

And how good Miss Inger was. Without a sound and smiling she glided across the small, unadorned room, - almost like a tiny mother, he thought, watching her, as she arranged to get a vase for the flowers from the nurse , put down a small napkin on the table, which she had secretly taken out of her purse, stopped in front of the window, and observed the sick friend. And then she sat down at his bedside, caressed the pale, twitching hands of the sick one, spoke quietly and confidently to him, and behold, he forgot pain and fears, - and her, who previously had always addressed him with the honorific "Sie," now spoke to him confidentially as Du

Note: "Sie" is formal, "Du" informal for "you."

. He only realized that many days later. And she never called him by his name during those first days...

ts-trc09p117

Og hvor god Inger var! Lydløst og smilende gled hun om i det lille Rum som en Moder hos sit syge Barn, tænkte han, medens hun fik Sygeplejersken til at bringe sig en Vase og ordnede Blomsterne. Saa bredte hun et smukt, broget Silketørklæde, som hun havde bragt med i sin Taske, over Bordet og stillede Blomsterne hen i Vindueskarmen. Da det var gjort, satte hun sig ved Siden af Sengen og strøg blidt over den Syges sitrende Hænder, medens hun talte sagte og

Note: 6

opmuntrende til ham ...... Hun havde altid tidligere sagt De til ham, men nu brugte hun det fortrolige Du ...... det gik først nogle Dage senere op for ham ...... og i disse første Dage undgik hun at kalde ham ved noget Navn.

d1c11p065

And how good Inger was! Silently and smiling she slid around the small room like a mother with her sick child, he thought, while she made the nurse bring her a vase and arranged the flowers. Then she spread a beautiful, multicoloured silk scarf, which she had brought in her purse, over the table and placed the flowers on the windowsill. When she was done, she sat beside the bed and gently stroked the trembling hands of the patient while she spoke softly and

encouragingly to him ...... She had always been on formal terms with him, but now she was on familiar terms ...... this did not occur to him until a few days later ...... and during these first days she avoided calling him by any name.

d1-trc11p065

Und dann setzte sie sich zu ihm ans Bett, sprach zuversichtlich zu ihm, – und sie, die früher immer »Sie« zu ihm gesagt hatte, sprach jetzt im vertraulichen Du zu ihm. Das fiel ihm erst viele Tage später ein. Sie nannte ihn während dieser ersten Tage nie bei Namen . . .

And then she sat silently next to the bed, caressed the tired, fevered brow ... and time passed ... and she glided away like a good dream ... And he had long since fallen back asleep.

Then she stopped talking – she just sat quietly and let her cool hand slide over his feverish forehead ...... He forgot his anxiety and his pain and settled down a little ...... Time passed ...... as in dreams he heard her slip away ...... and he fell asleep.

Each day she came to see him with flowers and comforting words. So one day, two days, three days passed. Andreas slept most of the time. No dreams came to him in the long nights, through which he was assisted by sedatives. And every morning Inger was with him with fresh flowers.

He woke up suddenly in the middle of the night. A terrible shriek startled him. At first he thought that he had himself screamed. He clenched his teeth. But the screams were heard again. No, he had not screamed. It was like the shriek of a tortured animal. He could not stand it any longer.

"Someone is being murdered! Help, help!" he cried, and reaching out his hand, pressed the bell. The door was flung open, the light switched on. A nurse stood in front of him. "What is the matter with you?"

Suddenly his sleep was rend to pieces. Night was around him. A terrible screaming pierced the darkness of the narrow walls of the room. A screaming the likes of which he never had heard before. First he thought he himself had screamed. He did not want to scream. He bit his lips. But there it was again, the scream from the dark. No, it was not he who had screamed. The scream, like the scream of a young, tortured animal, rang and rang ... He could no longer take it. "Someone is being murdered! Help! Help!" he screamed now, looking for his bell button, he rang, he screamed, he wanted to drown out the darkness with his scream. "Help, help!" The door is flung open. The light underneath the ceiling flares up. The nurse stands breathlessly before him. "Good heavens, what is the matter with you?"

He could not stand it any more ...... It must be someone who was being murdered.

After he had fully regained consciousness, he felt the pain getting worse and worse. But soon he had gained back control over himself, he clenched his teeth.

"Well, just a little," said one of the nurses with a smile, "and the strange thing was that your voice had completely changed. It was a shrill woman's voice."

"Nun ja ... etwas ..." sagte lächelnd die eine Schwester , "und das seltsame war dabei, dass sich Ihre Stimme völlig verändert hatte, es war

eine ganz hohe, helle Frauenstimme. Und Sie riefen andauernd: 'Sie dürfen nicht von mir gehen! Sie dürfen nicht von mir gehen. Jch bin noch so klein. Jch kann noch nicht allein sein.'"

"Well... Yes, a little..." one of the nurses said, "and the strange thing was that your voice had completely changed, it

Andreas wollte sprechen. Doch der Arzt war schon wieder zur Tür hinaus. "Geben Sie noch eine Spritze." Das war alles, was der Professor im Fortgehen leise zu der einen Schwester gesagt hatte.

Andreas wanted to speak, but the doctor had already left. "Give another injection." That was all the doctor had told the nurse while leaving.

Andreas vilde tale, men Lægen var allerede igen ude af Døren. »Giv ham en Sprøjte«, havde han i Forbigaaende hvisket til den ene af Sygeplejerskerne .

The nurse gave him a hint. He quietly left the room. Andreas whimpered: " Nurse , give me an injection..."

Sygeplejersken gav Niels et Vink. Han listede sig ud af Værelset, og Andreas tiggede og bad om at faa en ny Indsprøjtning ...... Han fik adskillige i Nattens Løb.
