In new things they delight.
APPENDIX III.
In the account of the Dies Irae, on [page 250], there is a reference to the following poem by Jsu-Justus Kerner, the Swabian poet and mystic, which I find translated among Mr. Duffield’s papers:
THE FOUR CRAZED BROTHERS.
Shrivelled into corpselike thinness
Four within the madhouse sit;
From their pallid lips no sentence
Tells of either sense or wit.
Starkly there they face each other,
Each more gloomy than his brother.
