"CONVERSATION PIECE" ... de Sir Herbert James Gunn (National Portrait Gallery, London) ... Todo un homenaje a la amistad : tres amigos entrañables, tres inteligencias superlativas, tres "monstruos" de las letras ....

Son Gilbert Keith Chesterton (a la izquierda, escribiendo ... como no !!!), a su lado sentado Hillaire Belloc y de pie, mirando por encima del hombro Maurice Baring, muy pendientes de lo que Gilbert escribe.

Belloc (periodista, novelista, ensayista, historiador) era "el profesor" del grupo. La educación de Chesterton era artística y buscó a Belloc por sus conocimientos sobre teología de la historia. Baring (diplomático, periodista) representaba, con su conocimiento de idiomas, la amplitud de la cultura cristiana.

Sky : *sigh* don't do this to yourself, Starcy...

Starcy (eyes filled with tears, searching for her voice) : You don't understand... if I don't learn to bare with it now. I will never be able to overcome the same thing forever... and I don't want this pain, Sky.

Sky (saddened yet understanding) : But, promise me that whether or not you can bare it, you'll come to me whenever those things haunt you.

Starcy (smiles her 'genuinely comforted smile') : You didn't have to mention it, you know?

Don't confuse giving your heart to someone and them accepting it as them being willing to do the same.. The same applies to baring your soul before someone.. Just cause they accept it; doesn't mean their soul is open to you.. That is not mutuality but rather being lost in the hope behind all expectation..
