MM N 626. Literary sketch
Literary sketch. “I saw all the people”.
MM N 626, p. 1
I saw all the people
behind their masks –
smiling, phlegmatic
– subdued faces –
I saw through them
and there was suffering – in them
all –
pale corpses – who restlessly
nervously – scurried about –
along a tortuous road whose
– end was the grave –
