5 often recurred to me during the progress of my record: as a hope, a trust, a conviction:

"'Ist's möglich ein Geschöph in der Natur zu sein, Und stets und wiederum auf falsher Spur zu sein?"

"'Can one created be—of Nature part— And ever, ever trace a track that's false?"

No... I do not believe it!

Faithfully yours, Oswald.
