On the occasion of a certain journey up the Rhine, which we had made together one summer, it happened that he and I independently conceived the very same plan at the same hour and on the same spot, and we were so struck by this unwonted coincidence that we determined to carry the plan out forthwith.

ty of Bonn on the Rhine,--it was a year which, in its complete lack of plans and projects for the future, seems almost like a dream to me now--a dream framed, as it were, by two periods of growth. We two remained quiet and peaceful, although we were surrounded by fellows who in the main were very differently disposed, and from time to time we experienced considerable difficulty in meeting and resisting the somewhat too pressing advances of the young men of our own age. Now, however, that I can look upon the stand we had to take against these opposing forces, I cannot help associating them in my mind with those checks we are wont to receive in our dreams, as, for instance, when we imagine we are able to fly and yet feel ourselves held back by some incomprehensible power. I and my friend had many reminiscences in common, and these dated from the period of our boyhood upwards. One of these I must relate to you, since it forms a sort of prelude to the harmless experience already mentioned. YEAR AT THE UNIVERSITY OF BONN ON THE RHINE IT WAS A YEAR WHICH IN ITS COMPLETE LACK OF PLANS AND PROJECTS FOR THE FUTURE SEEMS ALMOST LIKE A DREAM TO ME NOW A DREAM FRAMED AS IT WERE BY TWO PERIODS OF GROWTH WE TOO REMAINED QUIET AND PEACEFUL ALTHOUGH WE WERE SURROUNDED BY FELLOWS WHO IN THE MAIN WERE VERY DIFFERENTLY DISPOSED AND FROM TIME TO TIME WE EXPERIENCED CONSIDERABLE DIFFICULTY IN MEETING AND RESISTING THE SOMEWHAT TOO PRESSING ADVANCES OF THE YOUNG MEN OF OUR OWN AGE NOW HOWEVER THAT I CAN LOOK UPON THE STAND WE HAD TO TAKE AGAINST THEIR OPPOSING FORCES I CANNOT HELP ASSOCIATING THEM IN MY MIND WITH THOSE CHECKS WE WERE WONT TO RECEIVE IN OUR DREAMS AS FOR INSTANCE WHEN WE IMAGINE WE ARE ABLE TO FLY AND YET FEEL OURSELVES HELD BACK BY SOME INCOMPREHENSIBLE POWER I AND MY FRIEND HAD MANY REMINISCENCES IN COMMON AND THESE DATED FROM THE PERIOD OF OUR BOYHOOD'S UPWARD ONE OF THESE I MUST RELATE TO YOU SINCE IT FORMS A SORT OF PRELUDE TO THE HARMLESS EXPERIENCE ALREADY MENTIONED
