but one
word more , one last adieu !" She returned no answer. He stopped, and
listened and entreated; but all was silent. At length he tore himself
from the place, crying , "Adieu , Charlotte, adieu for ever !"
Werther ran to the gate of the town. The guards , who knew him ,
let him pass in silence. The night was dark and stormy,―― it rained
and snowed. He reached his own door about eleven. His servant , although
seeing him enter the house without his hat, did not venture to say anything
; and; as he undressed his master , he found that his clothes were
wet. His hat was afterward found on the point of a rock overhanging the
valley; and it is inconceivable how he could have climbed to the summit
on such a dark, tempestuous night without losing his life.
He retired to bed , and slept to a late hour. The next morning his
servant , upon being called to bring his coffee, found him writing.
He was adding , to Charlotte , what we here annex.
"For the last , last time I open these eyes. Alas! they will behold
the sun no more. It is covered by a thick , impenetrable cloud. Yes,
Nature! put on mourning: your child , your friend, your lover , draws
near his end! This thought , Charlotte, is without parallel; and yet
it seems like a mysterious dream when I repeat―― this is my last day!
The last! Charlotte, no word can adequately express this thought. The
last! To-day I stand erect in all my strength to-morrow, cold and stark,
I shall lie extended upon the ground. To die! what is death? We do but
dream in our discourse upon it. I have seen many human beings die ; but,
so straitened is our feeble nature, we have no clear conception of the
beginning or the end of our existence. At this moment I am my own ――
or rather I am thine, thine, my adored! and the next we are parted ,
severed ―― perhaps for ever ! No , Charlotte, no ! How can I, how
can you , be annihilated ? We exist. What is annihilation ? A mere
word, an unmeaning sound that fixes no impression on the mind. Dead,
Charlotte ! laid in the cold earth , in the dark and narrow grave !
I had a friend once who was everything to me in early youth. She died.
I followed her hearse ; I stood by her grave when the coffin was lowered
; and when I heard the creaking of the cords as they were loosened and
drawn up, when the first shovelful of earth was thrown in, and the coffin
returned a hollow sound , which grew fainter and fainter till all was
completely covered over , I threw myself on the ground ; my heart was
smitten , grieved, shattered, rent ―― but I neither knew what had
happened, nor what was to happen to me. Death! the grave! I understand
not the words.―― Forgive, oh , forgive me ! Yesterday―― ah , that
day should have been the last of my life! Thou angel ! for the first
time in my existence, I felt rapture glow within my inmost soul. She
loves , she loves me ! Still burns upon my lips the sacred fire they
received from thine. New torrents of delight overwhelm my soul. Forgive
me, oh , forgive!
"I knew that I was dear to you; I saw it in your first entrancing
look, knew it by the first pressure of your hand ; but when I was absent
from you, when I saw Albert at your side , my doubts and fears returned.
"Do you remember the flowers you sent me, when , at that crowded
assembly, you could neither speak nor extend your hand to me ? Half
the night I was on my knees before those flowers, and I regarded them
as the pledges of your love ; but those impressions grew fainter , and
were at length effaced.
"Everything passes away ; but a whole eternity could not extinguish
the living flame which was yesterday kindled by your lips , and which
now burns within me. She loves me !
