H. C. Andersen, portræt
af Aug. Grahl, 1846
”Then do you acknowledge that I’m mightier than poetry, philosophy, mathematics, and all the music” she said. ”Mightier than all those painted and marble-carved sensations? I’m older than all of them. I was born close to the Garden of Eden, outside where the wind blew and the damp toadstools grew. I made Eve put on clothes in the cold wind, and Adam too. Believe me, the first toothache was a powerful one!”
Auntie Toothache, 1872
