On a terrace by the water, beneath the trees, the first friend drinks cognac and soda in the summer heat.
- My friend, in this heat that blunts the edge of wit, let us rest from the harsh study of human Reality. Let us set out for the fields of Dream and wander over the blue romantic hills, where the abandoned tower of the Supernatural rises and moss covers the ruins of Idealism. - Let us create a fantasy!
