Hermann Hesse. Steppenwolf (№ 359270)

I always have to take a deep breath of it as I go? As the smell of wax, which is smeared floor, and a faint flavor of turpentine together with the mahogany, washed leaves and all the way create fragrance, create the highest expression of bourgeois cleanliness, thoroughness and accuracy of duty and faithfulness in the small. Don't know who lives here, but behind that glass door should be a Paradise of purity, of the petty bourgeoisie without a single speck of dust, a Paradise of order and timidly touching devotion to the little habits and responsibilities.
