![]() ![]() I had to sit down and tell myself several times: I’m at home, it’s Night, someone’s banging on the door only then did I manage to control my nerves. Unfortunately this has been happening to me lately, and has to do with my Ailments. I felt weak and began to reel, as if about to lose consciousness. I sprang up and stood by the bed, unsteadily, because my sleepy, shaky body couldn’t make the leap from the innocence of sleep into wakefulness. So when I was woken in the middle of the Night by hammering on the door – violent, immoderate and thus ill-omened – I was unable to come round. Meanwhile I had fallen very fast asleep I had helped myself with an infusion of hops, and I also took two valerian pills. Had I examined the Ephemerides that evening to see what was happening in the sky, I wouldn’t have gone to bed at all. I am already at an age and additionally in a state where I must always wash my feet thoroughly before bed, in the event of having to be removed by an ambulance in the Night. ![]()
