"O blue day / slope. / Blue, so sky blue / red, green, white / Maiwiese. - Crying. / Trembling Life Sensing / Coming from Death Nights. / - Oh her ... / Breathing / kissing a white dress. /- Thousand children of God / comforting: / poor mother; / weigh heartblood / in Peace... Since / talab / screams worldly / a D train. / Tomorrow already - / a pale woman - / Tact of iron wheels; / Where is the child - / Drilling: / Where's your child - Moaning: No child - no child ...". - The poem, one of the few literary works of the artist, was born in the most difficult year of crisis of her love relationship with the married Raoul Hausmann since 1915. A second abortion exacerbated the situation, conflicts grew and Hausmann did not separate himself from his wife. - The manuscript originally came from the possession of Raoul Hausmann's daughter before it came on the market. - 6 pencil sketch sheets with fashion designs that could possibly come from Hannah Höch since 1916, working alongside her Studied for the Handwerks-Redaktion of the Ullstein-Verlag.
