...besides the poet-Friedrich Nietzsche and Sigmund Freud. His love for Lou Andreas was a lifelong though mostly distant affair, interrupted briefly, as Biographer von Salis dryly observes, by his marriage to Clara Westhof. In an age that is congesting toward total togetherness, when even a Wordsworth can only wander lonely as a crowd, the solitary figure of Rilke commands something somewhere between awe and irritation. He sought Weltinnenraum-literally, "inner-world-space," the landscape of the mind that can be seen only by introspection...
...Elkon, 1063 Madison Ave. at 80th. Embry lifts the curtain on a drama in which shadows and echoes are the actors, and reality is as fleeting as a specter. With charred cinders for eyes, a face floats freely into space, tilting wanly as it rises, while tiny robed figures wander aimlessly in streams of nervous color.

As he finished his sentence, the long corridor we had been in came to and end, and we found ourselves...
Nehru's pace is far from what it used to be. On doctors' orders, government business occupies him for four hours a day at most. Visitors are limited to 20 minutes, and friends report that after a few moments his attention seems to wander. To prevent Nehru's blood pressure from rising, physicians have prescribed a heavy dose of tranquilizers, which makes him sleepy...
