Träume: Mit O. nach irgend einem Nachtmahl oder Diner in Villa, wo Sonnenthal und Kainz anwesend waren. O. sagt, so was mache sie nicht mehr mit, zu unheimlich, da beide schon todt. Wir schaun hinunter aufein Balkönchen, Kainz steht an der Brüstung (braune Holzbalustrade) sehr blass, traurig, weil er todt ist, einen viel zu kleinen schwarzen steifen Hut auf dem Kopf, die Nase gebogener als sonst ― dann eine Straße, die, von Baden aus, an einer weißen Kirche vorbei, sehr gebogen, zu einem (nicht sichtbaren) Friedhof läuft ― dann spiel ich Clavier, Adurdreiklang, meine Partnerin (ältliche Engländerin?) Amoll, Leute (Bauernjungen?) lachen (unhörbar),― zugleich ist ein weites Feld da, das „eigentlich“ was andres, sich mit Hinsicht auf das Klavierspiel veränderndes ist ―
