I wrote Poppas some account of these horrors, as during the court proceedings we had become rather better friends than of old. His reply arrived only a few days ago; a photograph of himself upon a camel, under which is written: Traulich und Treu ist's nur in der Tiefe: falsch und feig ist was dort oben sich freut!
Suddenly and unexpectedly, there entered a light yet mournful phrase in F major, which was almost a dance-rhythm, and seemed to be a small, frail pleading for something not rightly understood.

The law is proclaimed with: "Was entstanden ist, dass mus vergehen, Was vergangen, auferstehen!" And all the orchestra, the choirs, and the organ, join in the hymn of Eternal Life. O Mensch! Gib Acht! gib Acht! Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht?" O Man! Have care! Have care! What says dark midnight? The fifth part is a gay and stirring chorus founded on a popular legend.
But he was thoroughly roused when Krafft, picking up a sheet of music and coming round to the front of the piano, began to sing DAS TRUNKENE LIED. By way of introduction, the low F in the bass of F minor sounded persistently, at syncopated intervals; Schilsky inclined his head, and Krafft sang, in his sweet, flute-like voice: Oh, Mensch! Gieb Acht! Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht?
But the husband and the children are almost always referred to in the letters, and the friendship seems to have been entirely and only a friendship, as Schmidt calls it, "eine tiefe und zugleich respectvolle Neigung."
