Y et whereas our respective insti­ tutions had always been far apart, in 1967 we suddenly came together on the Wilhelminenberg, and it was there that our friendship deepened. Had we not ended up on the Wilhelminenberg in 1967, there might have been no such deepening of our friendship. Having abstained from friend­ ship for many years, I suddenly found myself with a real friend, who understood even the maddest escapades of my far from simple and indeed quite complex mind, and was prepared to become involved in them— something that the others around me were never willing to do, because they lacked the capacity.

In their last years together, when he was not in Steinhof or in the Wagner-Jauregg Hospital (Wagner-Jauregg, after whom this psychiatric hospital was named, had been a relative of his), he and Edith often went to Traunkirchen. Now he went there alone, but the effect was devastating.
