And there
will be amusing things to do. It will be amusing to go to these
eurythmic displays, and the German opera, the German theatre. It WILL
be amusing to take part in German Bohemian life. And Loerke is an
artist, he is a free individual. One will escape from so much, that is
the chief thing, escape so much hideous boring repetition of vulgar
actions, vulgar phrases, vulgar postures. I don't delude myself that I
shall find an elixir of life in Dresden. I know I shan't. But I shall
get away from people who have their own homes and their own children
and their own acquaintances and their own this and their own that. I
shall be among people who DON'T own things and who HAVEN'T got a home
and a domestic servant in the background, who haven't got a standing
and a status and a degree and a circle of friends of the same. Oh God,
the wheels within wheels of people, it makes one's head tick like a
clock, with a very madness of dead mechanical monotony and
meaninglessness. How I HATE life, how I hate it.
