FTP, identify this character who falls in love with the Polish boy Tadzio in Thomas Mann's novella Death in Venice.
When we first encounter this man, he goes out one afternoon in May for a walk which takes him to the Northern Cemetery of his home town, Munich.  He wrote a novel, The Abject, which "taught a grateful generation that moral resolution was still possible after plumbing the depths of knowledge," and he is also the author of "a discourse on the subject of Mind and Art" which ranked with Schiller's Naive and Sentimental Poetry.  After indulging in some overripe strawberries, he goes to the beach and observes Jashu attack another child.  In the end, the world is shocked to learn that he died of cholera in an Italian city.
