Vienna, January 10, 1847. Wild, chaotic dream images during the night. Among other things the Wesselburen tower was to fly up like a balloon; it was filled, and steam poured out all around it. But I was still a boy and was driven away from my good spot by adults who feared danger for me.

Der Kirchturm als Luftballon
Wien, 10. Januar 1847. In der Nacht tolle, wüste Traumbilder. Unter anderem sollte der Wesselburener Turm wie ein Luftballon in die Höhe fliegen, er war gefüllt, und der Dampf quoll rings um ihn her hervor. Ich war aber noch ein Knabe und wurde von meinem guten Platz von Erwachsenen, die Gefahr für mich befürchteten, vertrieben.
