To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
do you see that I am a madman, insane from rapture and de- spair! Should you not flee from a maniac? Perhaps his arm, imbued with giant strength, seeking to hold you ever 'to his heart, might crush you. My, then; spurn me from you; go to your room; go, and say to this mocking courtier, to whom nothing is holy, not even our love, who is surprised, at nothing — go and say to him : ' Trenck was a madman ; I summoned him for pity ; I hoped by mildness and forbear- ance to heal him. I have succeeded...; he is gone. Go, now, and watch over your friend.' I will not contradict your words ; so soon as you cross the threshold of the door, I will spring from the balcony. I will be careful ; I will not stum- ble; I will not dash my head against the stones; I will not be found dead under your window; no trace of blood shall mark my desperate path. My wounds are fatal, but they shall bleed inwardly; only upon the battle-field will I lie down to die. Amid the roar of cannon I shall not be heard; I dare call your name with the last sigh which bursts from my icy lips ; my last words of love will mingle with the con- vulsive groans of the dying.
