"`a well-disguised mystic .. . a scribe who has got beyond books, to the point where the wisdom ofmasters begins-the absurd wisdom which writes its final word on water.It would not be entirely wrong, either, to call Kruger a master of thelove-poem, a first-rate painter of landscapes and climates, a reviver ofthe Roman Elegy, a painter's poet. But he is all these things with adifference: there is a ""remainder"" which-in rational terms-should notexist, which one will only discover if one is not looking for it andwhich is . . . everything.' Adolf Muschg"
