NOVEMBER 23.

To-day we carried Simon Eichelkatz to his last resting-place. Only a few

"Myself I sacrifice to my love, and my neighbor I sacrifice as myself,

thus runs the speech of all creators."

The Nietzsche phrase flitted through my mind, a phrase that I had heard

explained by the son, the heir of that unlearned, wise old man whom we

had just consigned to the earth. "But all creators are hard--thus spoke

Zarathustra."
