A Crowded Room

Friedrich Schlegel (1772-1829), "Fragmente," Athenaeum 1.2 (1798) 3-146 (at 3; tr. Peter Firchow):
Both in their origins and effects, boredom and stuffy air resemble each other. They are usually generated whenever a large number of people gather together in a closed room.

Die Langeweile gleicht auch in ihrer Entstehungsart der Stickluft, wie in den Wirkungen. Beide entwickeln sich gern, wo eine Menge Menschen in einem geschlossenen Raum beisammen sind.
