Andre-Paul,

I have the German edition here. It appears, that it was not Hannah Arendt,
who made the remark, but Heinrich Bluecher, her second husband, in a letter
to Hannah, while she was visiting Jaspers in 1950. The remark was:
"Erinnerst Du Dich, wie ich Dich einmal auf das bei Juenger stets
wiederkehrende >hoher und grausamer Genuss< aufmerksam machte?"  It is in
the note to letter 98.

"High and cruel delight" ?
