You look so pale. + +\moorspeaks Quite well, my son -- what have you to tell me? + +\franspeaks The post is arrived -- a letter from our correspondent at +Leipsic. + +\moorspeaks \direct{eagerly} Any tidings of my son Charles? + +\franspeaks Hem! Hem! -- Why, yes. But I fear -- I know not -- whether I dare + -- your health. -- Are you really quite well, father? + +\moorspeaks As a fish in water. Does he write of my son? What means this +anxiety about my health? You have asked me that question twice. + +\franspeaks If you are unwell -- or are the least apprehensive of being so -- +permit me to defer -- I will speak to you at a fitter season. -- \direct{Half +aside.} These are no tidings for a feeble frame. + +\moorspeaks Gracious Heavens? what am I doomed to hear? + +\franspeaks First let me retire and shed a tear of compassion for my lost +brother. Would that my lips might be forever sealed -- for he is your +son! Would that I could throw an eternal veil over his shame -- for he is +my brother! But to obey you is my first, though painful, duty -- forgive +me, therefore. + +\moorspeaks Oh, Charles! Charles! Didst thou but know what thorns thou +plantest in thy father's bosom! That one gladdening report of thee would +add ten years to my life! yes, bring back my youth! whilst now, alas, +each fresh intelligence but hurries me a step nearer to the grave! + +\franspeaks Is it so, old man, then farewell! for even this very day we +might all have to tear our hair over your coffin. + +\moorspeaks Stay! There remains but one short step more -- let him have his +will! \direct{He sits down.} The sins of the father shall be visited unto the +third and fourth generation -- let him fulfil the decree. + +\franspeaks \direct{takes the letter out of his pocket}. You know our +correspondent! See! I would give a finger of my right hand might I +pronounce him a liar -- a base and slanderous liar! Compose yourself! +Forgive me if I do not let you read the letter yourself. You cannot, +must not, yet know all. + +\moorspeaks All, all, my son. You will but spare me crutches. + +\franspeaks \direct{reads} ``Leipsic, May 1. Were I not bound by an inviolable +promise to conceal nothing from you, not even the smallest particular, +that I am able to collect, respecting your brother's career, never, my +dearest friend, should my guiltless pen become an instrument of torture +to you. I can gather from a hundred of your letters how tidings such as +these must pierce your fraternal heart. It seems to me as though I saw +thee, for the sake of this worthless, this detestable'' -- \direct{\moor covers +his face}. Oh! my father, I am only reading you the mildest passages -- +``this detestable man, shedding a thousand tears.'' Alas! mine flowed -- ay, +gushed in torrents over these pitying cheeks. ``I already picture to +myself your aged pious father, pale as death.'' Good Heavens! and so you +are, before you have heard anything. + +\moorspeaks Go on!

The present generation may be compared to +rats crawling about the club of Hercules. + +A French abbe lays it down that Alexander was a poltroon; a phthisicky +professor, holding at every word a bottle of sal volatile to his nose, +lectures on strength. Fellows who faint at the veriest trifle criticise +the tactics of Hannibal; whimpering boys store themselves with phrases +out of the slaughter at Canna; and blubber over the victories of Scipio, +because they are obliged to construe them. + +\spiespeaks Spouted in true Alexandrian style. + +\chaspeaks A brilliant reward for your sweat in the battle-field +truly to have your existence perpetuated in gymnasiums, and your +immortality laboriously dragged about in a schoolboy's satchel. A +precious recompense for your lavished blood to be wrapped round +gingerbread by some Nuremberg chandler, or, if you have great luck, to +be screwed upon stilts by a French playwright, and be made to move on +wires! Ha, ha, ha! + +\spiespeaks \direct{drinks.} Read Josephus, I tell you. + +\chaspeaks Fie! fie upon this weak, effeminate age, fit for nothing +but to ponder over the deeds of former times, and torture the heroes of +antiquity with commentaries, or mangle them in tragedies. The vigor of +its loins is dried up, and the propagation of the human species has +become dependent on potations of malt liquor. +\end{drama} + +\begin{center} +[\dots] +\end{center} + +\act + +\Scene[]{. -- {\scshape Francis von Moor} in his chamber -- in meditation.} + +\begin{drama} +\franspeaks It lasts too long -- and the doctor even says is recovering -- an +old man's life is a very eternity! The course would be free and plain +before me, but for this troublesome, tough lump of flesh, which, like +the infernal demon-hound in ghost stories, bars the way to my treasures. + +Must, then, my projects bend to the iron yoke of a mechanical system? +Is my soaring spirit to be chained down to the snail's pace of matter? +To blow out a wick which is already flickering upon its last drop of +oil -- 'tis nothing more. And yet I would rather not do it myself, on +account of what the world would say. I should not wish him to be +killed, but merely disposed of. I should like to do what your clever +physician does, only the reverse way -- not stop Nature's course by +running a bar across her path, but only help her to speed a little +faster. Are we not able to prolong the conditions of life? Why, +then, should we not also be able to shorten them? Philosophers and +physiologists teach us how close is the sympathy between the emotions of +the mind and the movements of the bodily machine. Convulsive sensations +are always accompanied by a disturbance of the mechanical vibrations -- +passions injure the vital powers -- an overburdened spirit bursts its +shell. Well, then -- what if one knew how to smooth this unbeaten path, +for the easier entrance of death into the citadel of life? -- to work the +body's destruction through the mind -- ha! an original device! -- who can +accomplish this? -- a device without a parallel! Think upon it, Moor! +That were an art worthy of thee for its inventor. Has not poisoning +been raised almost to the rank of a regular science, and Nature +compelled, by the force of experiments, to define her limits, so that +one may now calculate the heart's throbbings for years in advance, and +say to the beating pulse, ``So far, and no farther''? Why should not one +try one's skill in this line? + +And how, then, must I, too, go to work to dissever that sweet and +peaceful union of soul and body? What species of sensations should I +seek to produce? Which would most fiercely assail the condition of +life? Anger? -- that ravenous wolf is too quickly satiated. Care? that +worm gnaws far too slowly. Grief? -- that viper creeps too lazily for me. +Fear? -- hope destroys its power. What! and are these the only +executioners of man? is the armory of death so soon exhausted? \direct{In deep +thought.} How now! what! ho! I have it! \direct{Starting up.} Terror! What +is proof against terror? What powers have religion and reason under +that giant's icy grasp! And yet -- if he should withstand even this +assault? If he should! Oh, then, come Anguish to my aid! and thou, +gnawing Repentance! -- furies of hell, burrowing snakes who regorge your +food, and feed upon your own excrements; ye that are forever destroying, +and forever reproducing your poison! And thou, howling Remorse, that +desolatest thine own habitation, and feedest upon thy mother. And come +ye, too, gentle Graces, to my aid; even you, sweet smiling Memory, +goddess of the past -- and thou, with thy overflowing horn of plenty, +blooming Futurity; show him in your mirror the joys of Paradise, while +with fleeting foot you elude his eager grasp. Thus will I work my +battery of death, stroke after stroke, upon his fragile body, until the +troop of furies close upon him with Despair! Triumph! triumph! -- the +plan is complete -- difficult and masterly beyond compare -- sure -- safe; for +then \direct{with a sneer} the dissecting knife can find no trace of wound or +of corrosive poison. + +\direct{Resolutely.} Be it so! \direct{Enter \her.} Ha! \emph{Deus ex machina}! +Hermann! + +\herspeaks At your service, gracious sir! + +\franspeaks \direct{shakes him by the hand.} You will not find it that of an +ungrateful master. + +\herspeaks I have proofs of this. + +\franspeaks And you shall have more soon -- very soon, Hermann! -- I have +something to say to thee, Hermann. + +\herspeaks I am all attention. +\end{drama} + +\begin{center} +[\dots] +\end{center} + +\end{document} + +\endinput +%% +%% End of file `schiller.tex'. |
