Aber ich werde mir einbilden, daß das Ganze ein Mummenschanz, daß es Narrenfreiheit ist! Morgen - das heißt, wenn ich Geselle bin, gehe ich meinen eigenen Weg, die andern gehen mich nichts an! Ich gehe auf die Akademie, bekomme Zeichenunterricht und heiße Architekt!

You may be an upright man, but even as a master you will only be ranked among common men. I know better what to do than that. I will be an architect, which will place me among those who possess riches and intellect, and who speculate in art. I shall certainly have to rise by my own endeavors from a bricklayer's laborer, or as a carpenter's apprentice– a lad wearing a paper cap, although I now wear a silk hat. I shall have to fetch beer and spirits for the journeymen, and they will call me 'thou,' which will be an insult. I shall endure it, however, for I shall look upon it all as a mere representation, a masquerade, a mummery, which to-morrow, that is, when I myself as a journeyman, shall have served my time, will vanish, and I shall go my way, and all that has passed will be nothing to me. Then I shall enter the academy, and get instructed in drawing, and be called an architect.
