““On that occasion, while paying his respects, he saw another young girl, a pigtailed teenager of fourteen, standing on the stairway. Out of the blue Jung turned to the friend he was with and said, “That girl is my wife!” Years later, recounting the incident, Jung told Aniela Jaffé that he was deeply shaken by this; he had only seen her for an instant, but knew with utter certainty that he would marry her. Jung was right.””
