Erwin Schroedinger was a Fellow at Magdalen College Oxford from 1933 to 1938, but he was made to feel not very welcome there because he had a rather “unusual” personal life—he lived with both his wife, Anny, and with his mistress, Hilde, who, although married to another man, bore Schroedinger’s child, Ruth. After Oxford, Schroedinger was coaxed to live in Ireland with the understanding that this unusual arrangement would be fully tolerated. Surprisingly, all of the parties involved seemed fairly content until 1946 after Schroedinger fathered two more children with two different Irish women, whereupon Hilde decided to take Ruth back to Austria to live with her lawful husband. Anny, entirely unperturbed by this development and having her own lovers as well, remained Erwin’s close companion until his death.引自第41页
