The thing speaks for
itself. Before Albert came, I knew all that I know now. I knew I could
make no pretensions to her, nor did I offer any, that is, as far as
it was possible , in the presence of so much loveliness, not to pant
for its enjoyment. And now, behold me like a silly fellow, staring with
astonishment when another comes in, and deprives me of my love.
I bite my lips, and feel infinite scorn for those who tell me to
be resigned , because there is no help for it. Let me escape from the
yoke of such silly subterfuges! I ramble through the woods ; and when
I return to Charlotte , and find Albert sitting by her side in the summer-house
in the garden , I am unable to bear it , behave like a fool , and commit
a thousand extravagances. "For Heaven"s sake," said Charlotte today,
"let us have no more scenes like those of last night! You terrify me
when you are so violent." Between ourselves , I am always away now when
he visits her : and I feel delighted when I find her alone.
AUGUST 8. Believe me, dear Wilhelm , I did not allude to you when
I spoke so severely of those who advise resignation to inevitable fate.
I did not think it possible for you to indulge such a sentiment. But in
fact you are right. I only suggest one objection. In this world one is
seldom reduced to make a selection between two alternatives. There are
as many varieties of conduct and opinion as there are turns of feature
between an aquiline nose and a flat one.
You will, therefore, permit me to concede your entire argument,
and yet contrive means to escape your dilemma.
Your position is this , I hear you say : "Either you have hopes
of obtaining Charlotte, or you have none. Well , in the first case,
pursue your course, and press on to the fulfilment of your wishes. In
the second, be a man , and shake off a miserable passion, which will
enervate and destroy you." My dear friend , this is well and easily said.
But would you require a wretched being, whose life is slowly wasting
under a lingering disease , to despatch himself at once by the stroke
of a dagger ? Does not the very disorder which consumes his strength
deprive him of the courage to effect his deliverance?
You may answer me , if you please, with a similar analogy , "Who
would not prefer the amputation of an arm to the periling of life by doubt
and procrastination !" But I know not if I am right, and let us leave
these comparisons.
Enough! There are moments, Wilhelm, when I could rise up and shake
it all off, and when , if I only knew where to go , I could fly from
this place.
THE SAME EVENING.
My diary, which I have for some time neglected , came before me
today ; and I am amazed to see how deliberately I have entangled myself
step by step. To have seen my position so clearly , and yet to have acted
so like a child ! Even still I behold the result plainly , and yet have
no thought of acting with greater prudence.
AUGUST lO. If I were not a fool , I could spend the happiest and
most delightful life here. So many agreeable circumstances, and of a
kind to ensure a worthy man"s happiness , are seldom united. Alas! I
feel it too sensibly,—— the heart alone makes our happiness! To be
admitted into this most charming family , to be loved by the father as
a son , by the children as a father, and by Charlotte ! then the noble
Albert, who never disturbs my happiness by any appearance of ill-humour,
receiving me with the heartiest affection , and loving me, next to Charlotte,
better than all the world !
