Die Nachtwachen des Bonaventura by BONAVENTURA
Chapter 8 of this singular text from the German Romanticism deals with a character who tries to live exclusively for the fine arts. But he suffers under the fact that this style of life is highly unprofitable. Very modern issue.
Classic and woefully unavailable text of early 19th century German decadence. Well worth tracking down a copy.
"Bonaventura" is a pseudonym, and speculations as to whom the author might have been are still underway - one thing that seems sure, however, is that the author was NOT his beatified holiness Cardinal Bonaventure, as LibraryThing has it listed here.
