"This same symmetrical composition - the same motif appears at the beginning and at the end - may seem quite 'novelistic' to you, and I am willing to agree, but only on the condition that you refrain from reading such notions as "fictive," "fabricated," and "untrue to life" into the world "novelistic." Because human lives are composed in precisely such a fashion
They are composed like music. Guided by his sense of beauty, an individual transforms a fortuitous occurrence (Beethoven's music, death under a train) into a motif which then assumes a permanent place in the composition of the individual's life."
