We were alone: when the sound of the philosopher's voice reached us, it had become so blended with the rustling leaves and with the buzzing murmur of the myriads of living things inhabiting the wooded height, that it almost seemed like the music of nature; as a sound it resembled nothing more than a distant monotonous plaint. We were indeed undisturbed. WE WERE ALONE WHEN THE SOUND OF THE PHILOSOPHER'S VOICE REACHED US IT HAD BECOME SO BLENDED WITH THE RUSTLING LEAVES AND WITH THE BUZZING MURMUR OF THE MYRIADS OF LIVING THINGS INHABITING THE WOODED HEIGHT THAT IT ALMOST SEEMED LIKE THE MUSIC OF NATURE AS A SOUND IT RESEMBLED NOTHING MORE THAN A DISTANT MONOTONOUS PLAINT WE WERE INDEED UNDISTURBED
r meditations with regard to how you are to become men of culture. I wish you success and--points of view, as in your duelling questions; brand-new, original, and enlightened points of view. The philosopher does not wish to prevent your philosophising: but refrain at least from disconcerting him with your pistol-shots. Try to imitate the Pythagoreans to-day: they, as servants of a true philosophy, had to remain silent for five years--possibly you may also be able to remain silent for five times fifteen minutes, as servants of your own future culture, about which you seem so concerned." We had reached our destination: the solemnisation of our rite began. As on the previous occasion, five years ago, the Rhine was once more flowing beneath a light mist, the sky seemed bright and the woods exhaled the same fragrance. We took our places on the farthest corner of the most distant bench; sitting there we were almost concealed, and neither the philosopher nor his companion could see our faces.
