Books Read in 2016: The Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller

I would know him in death, at the end of the world.

i have loved you in all of my lives, darling, with all of my hearts, with all of my souls

doubt me, but not this (o.q)

[deadgreekgays]

I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.

Mary Shelley, from ‘Frankenstein’  (via soracities)

He holds me so tightly I can feel the faint beat of his chest.

An echo. the last bit of spirit still tethered to my body.

A torment.

and our joy was so bright we could see nothing else but the other.

❝Bring him back to me,❞ he told them. ― ❝I will be fine,❞ I told him. Myself.

There was more to say, but for once we did not say it. There would be other times for speaking, tonight and tomorrow and all the days after that. He let go of my hand. ― The Song of Achilles, Madeline Miller

In my dreams dear,
 we are together. We are happy. 
We are in love. 
In my dreams, we still are.

I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me. If I had had words to speak such a thing, I would have. But there were none that seemed big enough for it, to hold that swelling truth.

It was enough to watch him win, to see the soles of his feet flashing as they kicked up sand, or the rise and fall of his shoulders as he pulled through the salt. It was enough.

Achilles: Look, Agamemnon. I want to apologize for everything I said. For what it's worth I really like having you as a commander.

Agamemnon: No you don't.

Achilles: I know. I have dreams where I staple your fingers to your face.
