Catalogue Note
Although the context of this fragment, previously unknown to Heine scholarship, is uncertain, it is possible that Heine - given the reference to his being a 'wind-bag' ('Schwätzer') - is referring here to an unfavourable review or, alternatively, to some family matter. We gratefully acknowledge the kind assistance of Christian Liedtke in cataloguing this fragment.
