From Erwin Schrödinger [Taormina, 7. April 1929] Daß es so nah von Berlin etwas so unerhört Schönes gibt und daß man das noch nie gesehen ha[t], ist eigentlich unglaublich. Ich möchte mich am liebsten hier nie- derlassen und nie mehr fortgehen. Aber das sind alles nur Worte, mit denen man diesem Traum von Schönheit nicht nahekommen kann.
