Holy Heart of Jesus and the Five Wounds of Christ’s Love, 1521

[…] so dedicated an attention to the approaches of death, so molten an obsession.
Peter Davison, quoted in ‘Sylvia Plath: Method and Madness’ by Edward Butscher
will graham be like “is hannibal in love with me?” my brother in christ people call you murder husbands, you got compared to patroclus and achilles, that mf shaped a dead body like a human heart for you, he literally adopted a surrogate daughter with you, he surrendered to the FBI so that you can always find him, he made you chicken soup when you were in the hospital, he was ready to run off to europe with you, he wrote you love letters from his cell, he literally tried to kill your entire family to have you all for himself, the mf could recognize you by smell and even knows if you change your aftershave… do i have to continue?
I love you dreadfully.
Daphne du Maurier, from ‘Rebecca’

How good to get your letters! They are like soul letters to me.
