Nobody shed a tear over him; his face was covered over with a white
cloth, under his head they had placed a large thick book, the leaves of which
consisted of folded sheets of blotting-paper, and withered flowers lay between
them; it was the herbarium which he had gathered in various places and was to be
buried with him, according to his own wish. Every one of the flowers in it was
connected with some chapter of his life. "Who is the dead man?" we asked. "The
old student," was the reply.
"The old student," was the reply. "They say
that he was once an energetic young man, that he studied the dead languages, and
sang and even composed many songs; then something had happened to him, and in
consequence of this he gave himself up to drink, body and mind. When at last he
had ruined his health, they brought him into the country, where someone paid for
his board and residence. He was gentle as a child as long as the sullen mood did
not come over him; but when it came he was fierce, became as strong as a giant,
and ran about in the wood like a chased deer.
But when we succeeded in
bringing him home, and prevailed upon him to open the book with the dried-up
plants in it, he would sometimes sit for a whole day looking at this or that
plant, while frequently the tears rolled over his cheeks. God knows what was in
his mind; but he requested us to put the book into his coffin, and now he lies
there. In a little while the lid will be placed upon the coffin, and he will
have sweet rest in the grave!" The cloth which covered his face was lifted up;
the dead man's face expressed peace- a sunbeam fell upon it.
