ENVOI
If you do not wish it, what I have related to you is, and remains, a fable. I thought to write a purposeful novel. More novel than purpose, some will say. More purpose than novel, others will remark.
. For now, after three years of work, we must separate, and your sufferings will begin, my dear book; through emnity and opposition you must take your way as through a dark forest.
When, however, you meet with friends, so greet them in the name of your father, who would say, that though dreams fill up the time which we spend on earth, dream is not so separate from deed as many think. Everything that humanity has done was before the deed a dream, and after the act will again be a dream.
