Tribute to Freud

A NOTE ON THE TEXT

“Writing on the Wall,” to Sigmund Freud, blameless physician, was written in London in the autumn of 1944, with no reference to the Vienna notebooks of spring 1933.

“Writing on the Wall” appeared in Life & Letters Today, London, 1945–1946.

“Advent,” the continuation of “Writing on the Wall,” or its prelude was taken direct from the old notebooks of 1933, though it was not assembled until December 1948, Lausanne.
