Sonderbarer Traum unter vielen andern, alpdrückenhaft, heute Nacht: wie ich während meines Begräbnisses auf dem Friedhof stehe, die Kränze betrachte, die Schleifen lese ― und wundre mich, dass ich am 16. Mai gestorben bin, gerade einen Tag nach meinem Geburtstag. Dann kommt man mir zureden (hauptsächlich meine Mama, wie schon einmal bei einem ähnlichen Traum) mich doch endlich begraben lassen.―
