A certain Prince Potocki, a nephew of the famous Potocki who wrote the Saragossa manuscript and in so doing ensured himself a permanent niche in world literature, is said to have closed all the shutters on his estate in the neighborhood of Kazimierz, one after the other and from top to bottom, and, after once more making sure that all the shutters in his castle were really shut, he apparently put a bullet through his head over a copy of Goethe’s Faust that was open at exactly the place where the Easter promenade comes to an end. The prince is said to have drawn a red line under the end of the Easter promenade before committing suicide and to have placed a question mark beneath it. In his will he expressed the wish that the shutters, which, as he expressly stated in the will, he had shut for thirty years, should not be opened until thirty years after his death. The Potocki family honored his wishes. Immediately after the Potockis had reopened the shutters, they sold the castle near Kazimierz.
