Sample Book Insights:
#1 I have many memories from when I was young, but the earliest is from when I was six months old. I was lying in a pram in the shadow of a tree, and I saw the sun glittering through the leaves and blossoms. Everything was wholly wonderful and splendid.
#2 I was born in 1878, and my parents were soon separated. I remember my mother spending several months in a hospital in Basel, and I remember the time when I was crossing the bridge over the Rhine Falls to Neuhausen. I may have been suicidal or resistant to life in this world.
#3 I had fears at night, and I would hear things walking about in the house. I would say a prayer every evening, which gave me a sense of comfort in face of the vague uncertainties of the night.
#4 I had a traumatic encounter with a Jesuit priest when I was between three and four years old. I was terrified of him, and hid under a beam in the attic. I did not know what Jesuits were, but I was familiar with the word Jesus from my little prayer.
