“Not long ago, I went on a summer walk through a smiling countryside in the company of a taciturn friend and a young but already famous poet. // My conversation with the poet took place in the summer before the war. A year later, the war broke out and robbed the world of its beauties” (Freud, 1916, pp. 304-306).
