Silence in the night

DEVRIM LINGNAU and PHILIP FROISSANT THE EMPRESS, EPISODE 3 — “THE WEDDING”

My Sisi is an angel sent by God to bless my unworthy life. When she enters the room, the sun itself seems to dim before her radiance. I would surrender my crown a thousand times over if it could purchase one more hour of her smile. — Franz Joseph: Persönliche Aufzeichnungen (1986), ed. Leopold Kammerhofer

Pachinko (2022)

My dear Honoria, I have met the most extraordinary woman. Conchita Closson is as different from anyone in our family as a circus is from a library. I first met her in the Madison Square ballrooms. Her head was thrown back, laughing as though nothing in the world had ever been so funny. So unselfconscious, so fearless. Honoria, she makes me feel like the sun has risen. Conchita is luminous. When she dances, the world watches. And when she looks at me, it's as though I've run down a mountain. I'm quite certain I will love Conchita my entire life. And if that life were to end tomorrow, well, I'd die delirious and uplifted. To have basked in her glorious and gentle light. To have held her hand. Do send my regards to the dogs. Love, Dick.

Something I had done years ago on A4 size paper. I think I skipped a few due to lack of space. Kings and Queens of England (after king Henry IV)

Love is patient. Love is kind. Love is... unacceptable
