Vienna
also: Wien
The imperial Habsburg capital; Bohusch's fancy that Prague's buried passages run 'as far as Vienna' half-jokingly ties the city's secret depths to the seat of empire.
Reading notes
- The Last Ones §6 Vienna
The Austrian capital, home of the soft-handed 'gentleman from Vienna' whose courtesies set the salon's languid tone.
- Early Poems §82 Vienna
The Habsburg imperial capital and seat of the Emperor's court; here it sneers at the over-mighty Wallenstein (Friedland), who keeps his own court at Prague during the Thirty Years' War.
- Two Stories of Prague §27 as far as Vienna
Vienna, the Habsburg imperial capital; that the buried passages should reach it is Bohusch's fancy, but it quietly couples Prague's hidden depths to the empire that rules her.
