III.
PARADISE REGAINED
The summer and autumn of the year 1895 I
count, on the whole, among the happiest stages
of my eventful life. All my attempts succeed;
unknown friends bring me food as the
ravens did to Elijah. Money flows in; I can
buy books and scientific instruments; among
them a microscope, which reveals to me the
secrets of life.
Dead to the world, as I have renounced the
vain delights of Paris, I remain in my quarter,
where every morning I visit the dead in the
churchyard of Montparnasse, and thence descend
to the Luxembourg Garden to greet my flowers.
Sometimes one of my fellow-countrymen on his
way through Paris visits me in order to invite
me to breakfast on the other side of the river,
and to go to the theatre with him. I decline,
because the right bank is forbidden to me; it is
the so-called “world,” the world of the living
and of vanity.
