+{{a|otto|{{image|Der Teufel|png|“''Der Teufel mag im Detail stecken, aber Gott steckt in den Lücken''”}}}}[[Die Schweizer Heulsuse]] (the “[[The Swiss Milquetoast|Swiss Milquetoast]]”) is the legendary, possibly apocryphal, unfinished last play of [[Otto Büchstein]], composed on his deathbed in an opium den in [[Mandalay]], delirious with malaria.<ref>Other reports have it as [[dengue fever]].</ref> Critics have been unable to agree whether {{buchstein}} intended it as comedy, history or tragedy, but are more or less unanimous that he failed to manage any of the three. “A drudgedy” was [[Winthrop Grumman]]’s terse assessment.
