Novalis schreibt ueber die 14-jaehrige Sophie von Kuehn, die er kurze Zeit spaeter heiratet:
"She does not want to be troubled by my love. My love presses her often. She is cold throughout."
Und weiter:
"She is interested in Schlegel. She does not like too much attention, yet dislikes neglect. She has fear of spiders and mice. She wants me always joyous. I shall not see the wound. She allows not to say you (i.e. address second person singular) to her. The H on her cheek. Favorite dish – herb soup – beef and beans – eel. She likes to drink wine. She likes to see something – loves the comedy. She reflects more about others than about herself."
(Ich habe die deutsche Ausgabe im Augenblick nicht zur Hand.)
