An old Vienna lies buried beneath the city

Arthur Schnitzler

Arthur Schnitzler: Tagebuch 1879–1931 — digital edition (2021) · Dated diary entry 1919-11-11; TEI body paragraph 5

Träume von heute Nacht: daß ich mit Lili Landesberger verlobt bin aber es irgendwie aergerlich empfinde mit dem Praesidenten ihrem Vater darüber zu sprechen ― da doch erst vor kurzem Hr. Stross dasselbe gethan. Dann geh ich im Touristencostume:, mit meiner Geliebten, die entweder M. R. (die Todte) ― oder H. K.― über die Mariahilferstraße; um sie zu einem Conditor zu führen, der vorzügliche Dobostorten hat ― dann erhebt sich, festungsartig gegen die Gumpendorferstraße zu ein Gebäude, Weinberge schließen an, schöner Blick, über die Wieden ― da möchte man wohnen ― dann bin ich in der Burggegend,― weiß, daß unterirdisch, etwa in der Gegend des Volksgartens, das einstige Wien liegt, versunken, ich sehe es gleichsam,― ein Reiterstandbild, grünlich patinirt ― etwa Kaiser Josef (was mir im Traum nicht klar ist).
