Dear John Fitzgerald:

Please publish it. Your seed will fall on some fertile ground.. I do not
agree to Picasso´s statement. Having spent a night somewhere in Switzerland
in a room with one of the most expensive Picasso paintings I think that this
might be true for many works of Picasso but
not for the work of Ernst Jünger and some of his aficionados.

"Die Ernte ist vergangen,
die Spreu ist täglich feil,
die Raben jetzt verlangen
ihr angemessnes Teil."

Friedrich Hielscher
