A presiding judge of the Dresden appeal court sat in an asylum and set down, in the careful prose of a man used to writing judgments, what God was doing to him: rays speaking through his nerves, a body slowly unmanned so it could be impregnated and bear a redeemed race, a doctor who had committed soul murder against him. Freud never met Daniel Paul Schreber.

And the paranoiac builds it up again, not more splendid, it is true, but at least so that he can once more live in it.
The Schreber Case, Sigmund Freud
