	"Minus illi ingenio laborandum fuit, in cujus locum materia
successerat" (He had all the less for his wit to do that the subject
itself supplied what was necessary". (Martial). And that, to warm what a
"proposal" petitions, caught between Amalia's Punishment and Olga's
Plans, if to _The Castle_ one must wade. Mysogynism indeed! My-sown-ring
of Gyges perhaps. Yet, (as seen), "Manches Buch wirkt wie ein Schlussel
zu fremden Salen des eigenen Schlosses" (Many a book serves as a key to
the unknown room's of one's own castle), (Kafka, _Briefe_, 1902-1924).
Especially, "Come quel ch'or apre, or'chiude / Gli occhi, mezzo tra'l
sonno e' l'esser desto." (Tasso, _La Gerusalemme Liberata_).
