An excerpt:

Neptune Fountain, Market Square, Heiligenstadt


   A Junker    comes to the quiet town with his daughter at the evening light.
   One traveled differently than one travels today:
   The little baroness rode like Father Kleist,
   she rode a white horse that was otherwise wisely
   and proudly and confidently carried by its mistress.
   Was it a crowd of children, was it a face
   That disturbed its peace - I don't know -
   At the market by the fountain, where
   Neptune waved his trident with serious greetings , it rose to heaven,
   It stumbled, fell, and under its white
   horse, Baroness lay with a broken foot.
   Hard case. The inn accepts them.
   One sends to the doctor. He comes in a hurry,
   another young doctor, pretty with frizzy hair
   - his picture, which I have, shows him clearly - the
   young lady whimpers. He separates her little shoe
   from her foot and checks his medical skills:
   “A bad break. The only
   thing that helps here, rest. " " You rest, "rumbled Kleist," I wanted to grant her that
   , but, sir, we're in a hurry, as a courier
   I'm here today in King's service
   and tomorrow I have to go on. Quickly, get advice. ”
   The doctor smiles slightly:“ Yes, indeed, the
   courier demands fast curing, but
   even he mustn't lose his
   patience . ” Kleist pauses and looks at the doctor punishingly:
   “ Sir, no jokes if I may ask. "
   But the doctor's eye now also flashes sharply at
   the other:" I do what I can.
   You don't like my advice ”- But
   a look flies out of Leonorens eyes pleadingly ,
   who says softly:“ How little men are good
   at communicating when pride defeats reason. ”
