Munich, March 24, 1838. During the night, in a dream, I resolved to die for someone, roughly in the way one decides to run an errand across the street for someone. It was as though I did not know what dying was.

Für einen anderen sterben
München, 24. März 1838. Über Nacht im Traum entschloß ich mich, für jemand zu sterben, auf die Weise ungefähr, wie man sich entschließt, für jemand einen Gang über die Straße zu machen. Es war, als ob ich nicht wüßte, was Sterben sei.
