From the end of the booklet:

"I thought a long time ago, a very long time ago.

I wrote in April 1904 - and abandoned it, as a dream without life and blood without color.

I evaluated kindly in the first days of July of that year.

I filled in the gaps and brought the whole thing out in the second half of September 1905 in Zakopane."
