Not illustrated. 1914 edition. Excerpt: ... hand the hammer, Yet bring'st me not the sleep, the dreamless sleep, That gives men rest. A heart athirst for work Knows it must wait, and wait in idleness: And so--in pain--it waits... for the new day. The sun, wrapped round in purple, slowly sinks Into the depths... and leaves us here alone. While we, who are used to light, look helpless on, And, stripped of everything, must yield to night. Rags are the coverlets that cloak our sleep. At noon we're kings... at dusk we're only beggars. He throws himself on a couch and lies dreaming, with wide-open eyes. A white mist comes in through the open door. When it disappears, The Nickelmann is discovered leaning over the edge of the water-trough. The Nickelmann Quorax!... Brekekekex!... So there he lies--This Master Earth-Worm--in his mossgrown house. He's deaf and blind, while crookback imps do creep Like the grey mists upon the mountain-side.

Thou hast not wrung from God the right to change Evil to good--or wages give to guilt. Thou'rt foul with stains. Thy garments reek with blood. Now, call thou ne'er so loud, the...
Excerpt from The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Vol. 7 The two long pieces that fill the greater part of the final volume of this edition of Haupt mann's dramas represent not only in point of time but also in their substance and method the intellectual if not the artistic culmination of a great career. In the Commemoration Masque (1913) so feverishly contended over at the time of its appearance he speaks in a way that has since taken on a tragic solemnity of certain prob lems of European history; in The Bow of 'odysseus (1914) he brings the interpretative power of modern psychology to bear upon per haps the most famous legend of the ancient world.
