| Contents | he could not finish the Perseus letter of the previous evening; requests the book by [E. S.] Hartland which will refer to the Ethiopian background, also the Perseus article in [Wilhelm Heinrich] Roscher; at night he hit upon the title for his Perseus research: 'The figure of Perseus as symbol of the carthartic function of phobic complexes of impressions through the establishment of image-based causation'; he will send the sentence also to Max Adolph, more for Reinhardt, than for his son; however, is not quite certain about the title; Miss Bing might help Mary: 'how can the incomprehensible process of living and dying be understood conceptually?'; the answer is: by 'Grifflichkeit', the haptic experience; her letters came late; does not like Alice Warburg coming from Zurich to Warburg for one hour only; could she not stay in Bellevue or [Hotel] Helvetia?; he has so much to discuss with her, Kösterberg, medical doctor who would stand in for [Heinrich] Embden, viewing of the new apartment; does not like the apartment in Harmonie, everything is too small, etc.; Max Warburg has promised him to visit him for a few days, holds Max to the promise; requests soaps, lanolin cream, plaster; could Max Warburg bring the new boots?; fears that all the preparations will not set him free; he needs the hernia to be seen to, the trusses, etc.; can Mary ask Krauth to come sooner?; Warburg has sent a card to Max Adolph, about Perseus; asks Mary to send him the following passage: Perseus, as fixed star in the story of Andromeda, directs a flying vehicle, as decan he is an impaled butterfly; these figures are ambivalent, they can lead upwards to the realm of the ideas and they can lead downwards into the inferno; Warburg needs the hernia to be treated, he cannot walk more than 10 steps; greetings to Detta [Marietta Warburg], Frede, 'Bücherstube' [library staff]; has Mary conveyed Warburg's thanks to Bing? |
