The very Commandants of his Fortresses, Commandant of Spandau more especially, refused to obey Friedrich Wilhelm, on his accession; "were bound to obey the Kaiser in the first place." He had to proceed softly as well as swiftly; with the most delicate hand to get him of Spandau by the collar, and put him under lock-and-key, him as a warning to others.
And as such it should be realized, a great creative-convulsive seizure upon the soul. To make it a matter of test-tube mixtures, chemical demonstrations and trashy lock-and-key symbols is just blasting.
