Things could not go on thus much longer. To Karl he said, in April 1774 : ' I will assuredly not remain another year in my present wretched position, happen what may. My friends must not on that account accuse me of restless- ness. At a place like Wolfenbuttel, removed from all intercourse such as I need, it has never been my intention to spend my life in guarding books. To- morrow I shall have been doing so for four years ; and as I feel only too keenly how much drier and more blunted my intel...lect and senses have become during these four years, in spite of all my widened historical knowledge, I should not for anything in the world like to do so for four years more. But I must not even do so for one year more, if I am ever to do anything else. It is all up here. Here I can do nothing more. You will read nothing of mine this Fair ; for I have done nothing the whole winter, and am well satisfied that I have at least accomplished that great work of philosophy or cowardice, that I am still alive.
