«Fra benken iakttok jeg ekornene som overalt i den kjempemessige, herfra nærmest endeløse parken klatret opp og ned i trærne som så ut til å ha en eneste lidenskap: de snappet til seg papirlommetørklærne som de lungesyke pasientene hadde kastet fra seg overalt på bakken og raste opp i trærne med dem. Overalt løp de med papirlommetørklærne i munnen, i alle retninger, helt til man i skumringen bare kunne se papirlommetørklærne som hvite punkter som fór frem og tilbake. Jeg satt der og nøt dette synet som jeg naturlig nok knyttet mine tanker til.»

"Now that I have no living person left, I tell myself, I will face the January cold and the January emptiness with the help of the dead, and of all these dead there is none closer to me, at this time and at this moment, than my friend Paul. I stress the word 'my', for what is set down in these notes is the picture that I have of my friend Paul Wittgenstein, no other."
