FOOTNOTES:

[82] They have a whole room for winter quarters, of which in

summer the windows are merely thrown open.

[83] Such was the general title of the secluded Emeritus, the

court preacher, Spener, who resided there, and who was related to

the noble old pious Spener, not only on the paternal side, but

also on the spiritual.

[84] They had these names as twins.

[85] The grammar seems to require "a still almost maidenly

looking woman of seventeen years," but the translator did not

dare to think Jean Paul could have meant that, consistently with

the ages of the three children, though, as an Oriental, Chariton

may have married _very_ young.

[86] The Tartarus with Julienne's father's heart.

[87] Such is the name of that mount which Albano found in the

well-known spring night.

[88] Linda de Romeiro.

[89] The reason is, that after her recovery she was still

short-sighted, and to a short-sighted person the dew is so much

the more brilliant.

[90] This proposition, that pure music, without text, cannot

represent anything immoral, deserves to be more investigated and

developed by me.

[91] It cannot be objected to me, that in fact the scenes of my

book have been actually experienced, and that no one would wish

to experience any better; for in the representation of fancy

reality assumes new charms, charms with which every other faded

present magically glimmers through the memory. I appeal here to

the sensations of the very characters who figure in _Titan_,

whether they would not in my book--in case they should ever light

upon it--find in the pictured scenes, which, however, are their

own, a higher enchantment, which has gone from the real, and

which, to be sure, might produce such an effect--but altogether

illusorily--that my characters could wish to live _their own

life_.
