"I who hate mankind, and believe that they are all of vulgar, ordinary material, yield to the longing for society, and am driven again into the world." A loud knocking at the door interrupted this soliloquy, and the door opened at the commanding "Come in!" "It is he, it is Apollo," cried Moritz, joyfully.
