hier oben blies der Wind empfindlich rauh, wehte den Schnee unablässig über die mit Noppen versehenen Gußeisenplatten, auf denen man lief, spielte mit den Glühlampen, die nackt an Drähten zwischen den übermannshohen Brückengeländern herabhingen, griff in die Stahlseile, die den Brückenbogen zwischen den Hängen sicherten, wie in Harfensaiten, was ein dunkles, singendes Geräusch ergab, das manchmal von einem heftigen Krachen, wie bei Eisbruch, durchschossen wurde.
