Posting My Fantasy Bits And Whimsy

Trelawny

Do not you, dear Mary, abandon me by following the evil examples of my other ladies. I should not wonder if fate, without our choice, united us; and who can control his fate? I blindly follow his decrees, dear Mary.

Mary Shelley

You tell me not to marry,—but I will,—any one who will take me out of my present desolate and uncomfortable position. Any one,—and with all this do you think that I shall marry? Never,—neither you nor anybody else. Mary Shelley shall be written on my tomb,—and why? I cannot tell, except that it is so pretty a name that though I were to preach to myself for years, I never should have the heart to get rid of it. Adieu, my dear friend

Trelawny

I was more delighted with your resolve not to change your name than with any other portion of your letter. Trelawny, too, is a good name, and sounds as well as Shelley; it fills the mouth as well and will as soon raise a spirit. By the bye, when you send my books, send me also Mary Wollstonecraft’s Rights of Women, and Godwin’s new work on Man, and tell me what you are now writing.

Mary Shelley

Below is passage that recounts Byron falling in love for the first time with a school friend of his when they were both choir boys. I think this is relationship where they exchanged rings and had plans to live together https://theconversation.com/byrons-letters-reveal-the-real-queer-love-and-loss-that-inspired-his-poetry-224540

Does make you think how many queer poems and literature is missing because people had to hide their feelings for so long.
