The book was originally sold at the auction of Edvard Collins books for 2 kroner on November 2 1886, as number 1216. The dedication to Eduard Collin says:
Eduard Collin
Our friendship, Eduard, is poetry itself
By the form, - and yet true contents inside.
We deeply know the other’s soul and thoughts,
We will share our desires and woes,
And the heart beats faithfully against heart,
While the lips enounce the form’s “Thou”.
- For poetry in our present life,
We yonder thank with – brother’s kiss and you.
The most devoted of the friends
