Excerpted from Steppenwolf by Herman Hess, ©1927:
You have often been sick to death of life, haven’t you, longing to see the back of it? You are yearning to leave this world behind, the time and reality we live in, and to exchange them for a different reality more suited to you, a world that is timeless.
Steppenwolf is in the public domain in the original German, but the first English translation is still a few years away.
