“I could recognize him by touch alone, by smell; I would know him blind, by the way his breaths came and his feet struck the earth. I would know him in death, at the end of the world.” The Song of Achilles.

“Go,” she says. “He waits for you.”

“The way his hair looked in summer sun. His face when he ran. His eyes, solemn as an owl at lessons. This and this and this. So many moments of happiness, crowding forward.” - Patroclus, *The Song of Achilles* by Madeline Miller.

Thank you so much to everyone who urged me to read this book. It took my breath away and, to be completely honest, I’m still not over it. Such a gorgeous retelling of Achilles’ likely romance with Patroclus. 😭
