Chapter 3 de 40 · 6 min para leer el chapter

In Chapter 3, Paul Flemming climbs to Stolzenfels, where the ruin seems to warn him against dreams and impossible desires through an archbishop’s failed experiments. The narrator then describes Flemming’s early manhood, poetic imagination, grief, and unstable principles, while also stressing his kindness and underlying common sense.
