Excerpt from The Lutaniste of St. Jacobi's: A Tale

They had been born almost by the boy's cradle, but all their fond prophecies remained unfulfilled; he disappointed their best hopes, and when he left the University of Konigsberg, it was as if father and mother sat by the grave of all their early anticipations. When our story opens, George had been written down by every one as a failure; and in that respect also the seventeenth century resembled the nineteenth, that it only worshiped successful people.
