As a guard of honour here, stand Fogelberg's Odin, and Sergei's Amor and Psyche. And what is the Streamparterre? The Neapolitans would tell us: It is in miniature quite in miniature the Stockholmers' "Villa Reale." The Hamburgers would say: It is in miniature quite in miniature the Stockholmers' "Jungfernstieg."
It wanted but little to midday when Wilhelm came out of a hotel on the Neuer Jungfernstieg in Hamburg, and made his way toward the Alster, Fido trotting behind him, whose coat, for want of its accustomed daily washing and brushing, looked sadly neglected.
The sky was thickly overcast, the air unusually mild, on account of the prevailing west wind, and the pavement of the Jungfernstieg damp and muddy. A thin veil of yellow fog lay over the Binnen Alster, giving the objects far and near the indefinite, wavering appearance of a mirage.
All my plans had gone down wind, and as I sat at my table in the Cafe Ziechen, whence, against the background of the glittering blue of the Alster, I could see the busy life of the Alter Jungfernstieg and the Alsterdamm, my thoughts turned naturally to the future.
