These letters are amazing to read, especially the last one. It's kind of fascinating how precise they are in getting across the relationship and the differences and even general frames of mind.
you have underestimated what you mean to me emotionally and overestimated your intellectual impact
I admit, I laughed out loud at that. I love him for that sentence and yet I can only imagine how Thomas would have reacted to it.
our literature will never again help them to die more eagerly
Yeah.
The hour will come, I hope, in which you'll see human beings, not shadows, and then you will see me, too.
This is a really interesting way of putting it. I'm not sure Thomas every fully got there, even though he did learn.
Do you have any recommendations for further reading on their relationship?
