Excerpt from book: tion of the future. The prophet's art cannot be learned; the sense for it is a mystery, and mystically developed; it reveals itself as the swift lightning, which instantly seeks again its grave, in the dark night. We cannot call up spirits, by spells, at our own will; but they can reveal themselves to the spirit, the inner sense can discern them, and the susceptible mind receive.

Thou knowest Vostel is here; he is always running after me and saying, Bettine, why are you so unamiable? I then ask him, what shall I do to become more amiable? Do like your sister, Loulou; talk quietly with people, and show some sympathy if they talk to you.

Indeed, Herr von Vostel, that is only because they are so entirely overlooked and forgotten; nobody speaks to them, and I feel about them as you do about me. Out of sympathy you talk to me, poor little fledgling that I am, and that infects one so, that I want to show sympathy for these painted big wigs. Are you crazy ? Why should you show sympathy to an old picture ? As you show it to me. But the pictures have no feeling of it. Ei, and I have no feeling of it. Well, I swear I pity you, you are on the way to the madhouse. I should not tell you such a silly story, if it had not caused such an uproar...
