      Es ist ein Skandal, nicht mehr und nicht weniger als ein Skandal. Jawohl. Das ist die Antwort der Lebenden, der jungen, die von der kriegerischen Heimsuchung jener Zeiten nichts mehr wissen; die Alten aber schweigen und sinnen. Wie diese Uralte mit dem Wärmekrug, die mit einem Stöckchen die glosenden Holzkohlen auf kupfernem Rost aufschürt, damit das Feuerchen nicht erlischt.
