But we need the books that affect us like a misfortune that causes us pain, like the death of someone we loved more than ourselves, like being banished into forests far from everyone, like a suicide.

Perhaps I am glad you left, as glad as people would have to be if someone climbed to the moon to look at them from there, for this sense of being observed from such height and distance would give people some small assurance that their movements and words and wishes are not altogether comical and foolish, as long as astronomers in their observatories hear no laughter from the moon.

How many words in this book. They are meant for remembrance. As though words could carry memories. For words are clumsy mountaineers and clumsy miners. Not for them to bring down treasures from the mountains’ heights, or up from the mountains’ depths. But there is a living thoughtfulness that has passed gently, like a stroking hand, over everything memorable. And when the raging flame shoots up out of these ashes, hot and glowing, strong and mighty, and you stare into it as though spellbound by its magic, then —- But no one can write himself into this kind of pure mindfulness with unskillful hand and crude tools; one can write only in such white, undemanding pages as these. I did so on September 4, 1900.

How everything can be said, how for everything, for the strangest fancies, there waits a great fire in which they perish and rise up again. . . . Only in this way can writing be done, only with such coherence, with such a complete opening of body and soul.

This story, ‘The Judgment,’ I wrote at one sitting during the night of 22nd–23rd September . . . how the story developed before me, as if I were gliding over water. . . . How everything can be said, how for everything, for the strangest fancies, there waits a great fire in which they perish and rise up again . . . . Only in this way can writing be done, only with such coherence, with such a complete opening of body and soul.
