Dora Carrington, in a letter to Lytton Strachey (1922), one of the most heartfelt letters Ive ever had the pleasure to read. Lytton, you are the only person who I have ever had an absorbing passion for. I shall never have another. I couldn’t now. I had one of the most self-abasing loves that a person can have. You could throw me into transports of happiness and dash me into deluges of tears and despair, all by a few words. But these aren’t reproaches - these years when we were quite alone will always be the happiest I ever spent. And I’ve such a store of good things which I’ve saved up, that I feel I could never be lonely again now. […] You never knew, or never will know, the very big and devastating love I had for you […] Say you will remember it, that it wasn’t all lost and that you’ll forgive me for this outburst, and always be my friend […] You gave me a much longer life than I ever deserved or hoped for and I love you for it terribly https://youtube/watch?v=IRc3O82vd-k
