English Translation

42 I have seen from your achievements, from your homes which are your accomplishments, from those which are even more of your achievements and from those that you do not and are (which is now too much and above your achievements), what you can do and are affected by it. How little you are, as it were, done as a price to the great touched of the people, yet you are tasted, yet it is you who make the enjoyment, jo as if each of you were a grain of spice, as if the dove and mat were nothing among you, — that has been revealed again in the small days of the great number. There are people who have said that they are like you and have tried the same thing, but they failed. No, they are not what you are, because I have looked at them. I have never expected of pelicans caught by the swan, but I know that swans do not have the mouth with which they eat a terrible amount of herrings. I see penguins waddling on naked islands, but I want grace and majesty again, I want to know a bent beak in icy heights and a claw over the carcase again, because I don't want the carrot to rise and the eagles to rot. In short, I see that there has been a reign and see how nothing succeeds. Mehe than this, I can see the great damage done by the Kärchers, who had so much to do, when kings were still building. Those who are concerned with driving debris from one edge to another, where they are heaping it up, who are standing on the heaps and proclaiming with crows the wing blow of a new time, perhaps they themselves know that the weather changes or remains as it is, for that reason and without that. Because only said and contradicted, fixed and revoked, decreed, riffed, relegated, ordered, negotiated, treated, seconded, elected, examined, counted and voted, of which I have not yet seen anything coming, I have become quite tired of it with many of my kind, as cannot be demanded otherwise. Once again, it should be chosen, chosen, divorced and decided, determined, determined and agreed upon, held and violent, with one word: we are sitting in a cart from which we want him to go, for we finally demand a goal! We want to be governed! We could also govern ourselves. Of course! Neighbors Warmbier, Trudler and I are aware of this. They could form the Commission, I would go to committee, they wanted to deputise me, and there in the government only the other votes would need me to become president. But who should have the time to do so? I now have a thousand other businesses, Trudler, who certainly had the stuff to do it, sprained his foot, as he believes, and Warmbier is not interested in it because he stutters. We laughed at him that he didn't need to talk at all, but only wanted to do the other deputies' exercises, writing paper, scraping, jumping up, whistling, but he doesn't want to. After all that is going on, this is the main thing: I at least realize that I can't really rule properly, because I don't have everything to do with it — because I'm not the whole guy who belongs to steering and reins, that if I're just out of a wood, then I'll be out of some lousy and gruff, because the precious wood is not so often and that, if I were to enter a government office immediately, it would be bad for me to steer and direct, that I alone and myself as a strawman with the template over me, the party boots under me and the whole entourage behind me would understand nothing but the talk of time, that it might be ready to multiply something from right to left or vice versa and take up an act about it, but do not present anything and bring it before me and create something of fertility and fertility. For it does not only belong to the juchtentasche, the free float and the nodding lighter, but rather to the preparation of a long hand, the longer the hand the better, and when it reaches back twenty centuries, the best. This includes a special fist, a special eye, a particular brain, a specific cut, — the truth the honor, I don't have it all, and that's why I let go of governing. I said even then, when there were still kings: I at least do not want to be a king, not even for their money, and today it's exactly like this: I don ́t want to rule, because I can ́t! I am thirsty for the glory to be the one who found it first, but I hope the big numbers will make me contest this honor and shame me with the proof that they recognized it long before. 5
