290. Empfindung auf dem Lande. - Wenn man nicht feste, ruhige Linien am Horizonte seines Lebens hat, Gebirgs- und Waldlinien gleichsam, so wird der innerste Wille des Menschen selber unruhig, zerstreut und begehrlich wie das Wesen des Städters: er hat kein Glück und giebt kein Glück.

290. Feeling in the Countryside. If one does not have firm, tranquil lines on the horizon of one's life, mountain and forest lines, as it were, then the innermost will of the person himself becomes restless, distracted, and covetous, like the nature of the city-dweller: he has no happiness and gives no happiness.

290. Sentiment éprouvé à la campagne. Si l’on n’a pas, à l’horizon de sa vie, des lignes fermes et paisibles, telles des lignes de montagnes et de forêts, la volonté la plus intime de l’homme devient elle-même inquiète, dispersée et avide, à la manière de l’âme citadine : elle ne connaît aucun bonheur et n’en donne aucun.
