Kerner intentionally produced random inkblots (Swabian Tintensäue) made by folding the sheet of paper into a symmetrical shape. They resemble the images the Rorschach also called the “inkblot test”. The “scope of imagination transmitting entities” are often ghost-like and grotesque, which excited Kerner to characters and short stories–which he then summed up in verse. Where the imagination was not enough, Kerner helped after “with a few strokes of the pen”. It differs Hades and hell pictures with goblins, the angel of death, witches, devils, etc. Other known Klecksographen are Victor Hugo and Christian Morgenstern.
