From Ritter, Dene, Voss (Thomas Bernhard)
Voss [as Ludwig Wittgenstein]
	The string quartets have always calmed me I am allowed to play them for myself as often as I like said the director he was corruptable too I put horrendous sums in his coat pocket these people will take any amount of money I'm allowed to listen to the string quartets I'm allowed to read I'm allowed to occupy myself intellectually as the director always says Rich people live on bribery And about eight I listed to the Eroica conducted by Knappertsbusch
taking his notebook out of his coat pocket and reading
	Twenty-seventh of May Eroica twenty-eighth of May Eroica twenty-ninth of May Eroica thirtieth of May Eroica thirtiy-first of May Eroica first of June Eroica etcetera
