can really assimilate, indeed have a real right to, only just so much knowledge as our talent
demands and hungrily draws to itself in each urgent, individual instance, in order to acquire
the requisite substance and solidity. I devoured with the greatest joy the instructive content of
that little book, and translated what I had acquired into certain practical exercises carried out
by candlelight in front of a mirror in the nightly privacy of my kitchen, exercises that would
have looked foolish to a secret observer but with which I was pursuing a clear and reasoned
goal. Not a word more about it here! The reader will be compensated shortly for this
momentary deprivation.
Before the end of January, in compliance with official regulations, I had reported in
writing to the military authorities, enclosing my birth certificate, which was in perfect order, as
well as the necessary certificate of good behaviour from the Police Bureau, the reticent and
negative form of which (to wit, that concerning my way of life nothing reprehensible was
known to the authorities) made me childishly angry and uncomfortable. At the beginning of
March, just as twittering birds and sweet breezes were charmingly heralding the advent of
spring, I was obliged by statute to present myself at the recruiting-centre for an initial
interview and, summoned to Wiesbaden, I travelled thither by train, fourth class, in a fairly
relaxed state of mind, for I knew that the die could hardly be cast that day and that almost
everyone comes up before the final authority, which is known as the Superior Recruiting
Commission on the Fitness and Enrolment of Youth. My expectations proved correct. The
episode was brief, hurried, unimportant, and my memories of it have faded. I was measured
up and down, tapped and questioned, and received no information in return. Dismissed and,
for the time being, free, as though on the end of a long tether, I went for a walk in the splendid
