Life

Hans Wahl wrote about himself in 1959:

“Born on May 20, 1902, probably with reluctant yelling because I shy away from the public. Nice youth with my sister in Schaffhausen; here also schools up to the Matura. After the premature death of my father, a customs officer, discontinuation of the economic studies carried out in Zurich and Geneva and entry into the biblical profession of my father. Presented by my wife with two well-to-do children of whom I am righteously proud as a co-author. Hobbies: writing, painting, reading, lazing around (the reverse order would be more correct, but I was brought up in a middle-class way). Is this enough?
It's enough for me. "
