“As I write this,—Thomas Mann, “Tonio Kröger”, 1903
I can hear below me the roar of the sea,
and I close my eyes.
I gaze into an unborn, unembodied world
that demands to be ordered and shaped,
I see before me a host of shadowy human figures
whose gestures implore me to cast upon them the spell
that shall be their deliverance:
tragic and comic figures,
and some who are both at once –
and to these I am strongly drawn”

Or maybe both of them?
