A cemetery walk before a medical appointment

Arthur Schnitzler: Tagebuch 1879–1931 — digital edition (2021) · Dated diary entry 1918-01-15; TEI body paragraph 1

Neulich Traum: ich soll Wenckebach (den Internisten) um 6 consultiren; treffe ihn vor seinem Hause, Landesgerichtsstraße ― (in Wahrheit Waisenhausgasse) ― noch zu früh, ich wandle aufwärts hinter dem Haus, ansteigend, Friedhof, ohne Schauer, dunkelgrün lederartiges Laub; ich sehe (an der Mauer (unsichtbar) schreitend) keine Steine u. dgl.― doch in der Tiefe arbeiten gebückt zwei Männer; ein Auto an mir vorbei, durchs Friedhofsthor ― verschwindend. Dunkelblauer Himmel darüber.
