strayed away like a child? said another. Or does he keep himself hidden? Is
he afraid of us? Has he taken a sea-voyage? has he emigrated? -- the people c
ried out laughingly, all in a hubub. The insane man jumped into their midst an
d transfixed them with his glances. Where is God gone? he called out. I me
an to tell you! *We have killed him*, you and I! We are all his murderes!....
