To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wezel represents Doktor Young, the author of the gloomy "Night Thoughts" and "Der gute Lacher, — Lorenz Sterne" as occupying positions side by side in his book-case. This proximity gives rise to a conversation between the two an- tipodal British authors : Sterne says : "Wir brauchen beide vielen Raum, Your Reverence viel zum Handeringen, Und meine Wenigkeit, zum Pfeifen, Tanzen, Singen. " and later, . . . "Und will von Herzen gern der Thor der Thoren seyn ; Jiingst that ich ernst: gleich hielt ...die Narrheit mich beym Rocke. Wo, rief sie, willst du bin, — Du ! weisst du unsern Bund. 1st das der Dank? Du lachtest dich gesund. " To Sterne's further enunciation of this joyous theory of life, Young naturally replies in characteristic terms, emphasizing life's evanescence and joy's certain blight. But Sterne, though acknowledging the transitoriness of life's pleasures, denies Young's deductions. Yorick's conception of death is quite in contrast to Young's picture and one must admit that it has no justification in Sterne's writings.
