 | | In the presence of thesse men, Hölderlin remains "mostly cold and monosyllabic." With the Zimmers he is allowed to wander around the inside and outside of the house, and the Zimmers take him with them during their strolls. |
 | | August 29: Karl Gock visits Hölderlin, finding that he is "looking good for his age," "very friendly and calm," but still so absent of spirit that he no longer recognizes his own half-brother. |
 | | January 27, 1843: J.G. Fischer, Christoph Schwab, and Karl Auberlen visit Hölderlin, who drinks coffee and smokes cigars with them: "...despite his disturbance, he still has a spirited appearance," and still shows "traces of his former beauty." Hölderlin admits tht he is the author of his poetry, and that Schiller had been a good friend. |
