The disappointment with the lack of recognition and his poverty
make Musil a bitter and lonely person.
He died in obscurity in Switzerland,
where only a namestone on the cemetery remains of him.

"Daß du nicht berühmt bist, ist natürlich;
daß du aber nicht genug Leser zum Leben hast, ist schändlich."
( That one is not famous is only natural:
that one has not enough readers to live is a shame!)
