Forty-Five Dog-Post-Days
A BIOGRAPHY
FROM THE GERMAN OF
JEAN PAUL FRIEDRICH RICHTER
TRANSLATED BY
CHARLES T. BROOKS
"The Earth is the cul-de-sac in the great city of God,—the camera obscura full of inverted and contracted images from a fairer world,—the coast of God's creation,—a vaporous halo around a better sun,—the numerator to a still invisible denominator,—in fact, it is almost nothing at all."
