really
wicked.
That
would be
a
great
pity
after
all this
fuss,
and
would
definitely
have
to
be rectified.
I
enjoy my
work
at
the office
very
much,
because
it
is uncommonly
diversified and
there
is
much
thinking
to be
done.[7]
But
even
more
welcome
than that
is
the handsome
salary.[8]
I like
living
here
in
Bern
very much,
the
more so
because
I have
no
philistine
acquaintances
here and therefore
enjoy relatively more
freedom. You
will
get
a
picture
of the situation when
you come
to visit
me.
Give
my
cordial
greetings
to
your family,
mother sister
little
brother and
brother,
most
especially
to
no. 2;
she
was
always
so friendly
to
me.[9]
I
am
keenly
looking
forward
to
seeing
you again.

a.d. 1903
The Man
of
Hechingen,
expert in the noble arts, versed in all literary forms-leading the age
toward learning, a man
perfectly and clearly
erudite,
imbued with
exquisite,
subtle, and elegant
knowledge,
steeped in the revolutionary science of
the
cosmos, bursting with
knowledge
of
natural
things,
a man with the greatest
peace of mind and marvelous family virtue, never shrinking from civic
duties, the most powerful
guide to those
fabulous,
receptive
molecules,
infallible high priest of the church of
the poor in spirit.
