Toward the end of her life -- after Heinrich Bluecher (her husband) and Karl Jespers had died, and the person on whom she most relied after them, her close friend W.H.Auden, who would also die before her, and Martin Hediegger, when at their last meeting she found enfeebled mentally and physically said she felt ‘Frei wie ein Blatt im Wind’ (“free as a leaf in the wind,) a striking image of sheer powerlessness. And since thinking’s reconciliation to the world is hardly the same as love, all of this tends to make one bit skeptical to the worldly wise Hanna Arendt’s - ‘Amor mundi’ (Hannah Arendt's shorthand for the effort and at times the failure—but above all the ambition—to learn to love the world as a gift ...) in her later years. ~ xvi (Introduction)
