— • The feeling of summer personified in one impression — this is what the displayed self-portrait had always transmitted to me ~ 🤗💙 ~ • —
{.......Which when set in contrast with the background-story of me being horrendously sick and in the blackest stages of mourning when it had been taken could be regarded as peculiar ~ yet nothing at all is a contradiction for me and even in the very darkest hours there resides beauty in the sheer inhuman emotional deepness: this divine abyss of feeling... ~ My summer that year had been the most atrocious one of my generally straining existence: and yet I very well remember the warmth the sun and the air so ethereally ˋimbedded´ in cornflower blue...! And my tender appreciation of this picture and positive association with the ˋbrightest month of the year´ stands beaming and strong sincerely.......}
