I got this here.
"After his death, the publication in 1963 of his "journal" entitled Markings revealed the inner man as few documents ever have. The entries in this manuscript, Hammarskjöld wrote in a covering letter to his literary executor, constitute " a sort of White Book concerning my negotiations with myself - and with God." There is a delicate irony in this use of the language of the diplomat. The entries themselves are spiritual truths given artistic form."
