31 Alexander Kluge wrote in his Chronicle of the Feelings: ‘She, the experienced
chemist, took poison as soon as she had dealt with the funeral, the burial of
the dead man, some writings and the will. Impatiently, she embarked on
her own death. Only at this point did her attention flag. The poison, wrongly
dosed, paralysed a part of her soul, the other part lived on, without memory,
for many years’ (Kluge, Chronik der Gefühle, vol. 1, p. 863).

38 Iring Fetscher, Adorno’s departmental colleague, also succeeded in giving
a picture of Adorno as man: ‘His eyes gazed at the world in terror. They
saw too much to allow him to remain content, calm and peaceful. He could
become excited and yet there was nothing over-excited about him. He
suffered and yet was able to transform his lament into sharp, analytic
insight. He loved and knew how hopeless his love – his love for the
possibilities of human beings – really was’ (Fetscher, ‘Ein Kämpfer ohne
Illusion’, p. 90).
