Autograph letter signed (‘C.G. Jung’) to Rivkah Shärf, Küsnacht, 9 April 1951
In German. 1 page, 297 x 211mm.
Letter from an unwell Jung ‘travelling along the edges of death’. Jung informs Shärf of his plans to return early from Bollingen to Küsnacht after becoming ill ‘with a high fever (39.5˚C). General infection, intestines, liver, bladder. In bed all last week. […] I was taken down into the unconscious and impregnated with content matter that I will have to develop, in spite of my frailty … God have mercy on me, I do not know where this will lead. I am still at sea … Travelling along the edges of death. A piece of mundane reality appears to have fallen away, allowing me to move around more freely within the spiritual sphere.’
Jung writes from his Bollingen residence on Lake Zürich where he spent several months each year.
