½ S. 4to. An den schwedischen Schriftsteller und Journalisten Ingmar Björkstén: “By and large I think you have admirably captured the essence of our conversation. There is only one slip which I should like to point out: in part 2 of page 2 (of the translation of our interview), where I talk about expressing experience in different languages, it is much more concrete and thus better adaptable for the philosophic and the abstract: first I think ‘emotional threshold’ is a better expression of my thoughts than ‘pressure’. But much more importantly, I was referring to ENGLISH as being more suited to philosophical and abstract thought, NOT Afrikaans!
