Every sensitive person carries in himself old cities enclosed by ancient walls. 

—Robert Walser

Interned in the sanatorium of Herisau (Switzerland), Walser used to write ‘micrograms’, (undecipherable short texts handwritten in a nano text-size), and take long walks. On the 25th of December 1956 he was found, dead of a heart attack, in a field of snow near the asylum.
