Richard Burton, hypnotized by Elizabeth Taylor, until his death...

""She looks at you with those eyes and your heart churns." –Richard Burton

Richard Burton's diaries. Erupting love for Elizabeth Taylor.

“I have been inordinately lucky all my life but the greatest luck of all has been Elizabeth. She is a wildly exciting lover-mistress, she is shy and witty, she is nobody’s fool, she is a brilliant actress, she is beautiful beyond the dreams of pornography, she can be arrogant and willful, she is clement and loving, Dulcis Imperatrix, she is Sunday’s child, she can tolerate my impossibilities and my drunkenness, she is an ache in the stomach when I am away from her, and she loves me! And I’ll love her till I die.” Richard Burton

Not together. Not without each other. Impossible love. Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton off stage.

“We tried to stay away from each other. We were too aware of the pain we were causing others to stay together. But it is a hard thing to do, run away from your fate. When you are in love and lust like that, you just grab it with both hands and ride out the storm.” Elizabeth Taylor

Picture (single one?) of the last time Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton saw each other before his death in August. Taken in London, during a lunch, including his 5th wife and Elizabeth's boyfriend. The man talking to ET is probably a producer.

Funny detail : everybody listen to him, except for one single person : Suzan Hay watching (spying?) the former third and fourth wife...

Does anybody know what is the source of this line ? I don't think it is from his diaries.

“There is an emptiness in my life that only Elizabeth can make less empty. For 13 years we were together constantly, compulsively. How can you end such a wild and perfect relationship? You can’t. A love affair like ours is never ended – only temporarily abandoned.” Richard Burton
