fleetingly improvised men
[aka Fluechtig hingemachte Maenner] The fleetingly improvised men are transient figures of human shape, which naturally disappear or slowly dissolve after a short period of existence. Their appearance always is the result of a wonder. Fleetingly improvised men lead a dream life. As as result, they are incapable of entering a regular conversation with people around them. Fleetingly improvised men sometimes resemble dead people. Daniel Paul Schreber assumes the fleetingly improvised men to be destined to aid in the emasculation process by supplying him with daily necessities. |
