1927, Herrmann Hesse, Der Steppenwolf:Am Efeu, am Rasen, an der kleinen Tanne vorbei erreichte ich die Haustür, fand das Schlüsselloch, fand den Drücker für das Licht, schlich an den Glastüren, an den polierten Schränken und Topfpflanzen vorüber und schloß meine Stube auf, meine kleine Scheinheimat.- Passing the ivy and the grass and the little fir tree I reached the door of the house, found the keyhole and the switch, slipped past the glazed doors, and the polished cupboards and the potted plants and unlocked the door of my room, my little pretence of a home.
