Quote
Should we keep silent about what is in our hearts or tell each other? I've always played the coward, out of respect for you. I've always pretended that I could live with anything, as if I were really made to be the plaything of men and circumstances, as if I did not have a firm heart within me which, faithful and free in its right, beats for that which is highest, you, my beloved!
Albert Camus to Maria CasarĂšs, Correspondance, February 1950? [#222]

Depuis hier soir, je songe Ă vous, Ă©perdument. Un dĂ©sir insensĂ© de vous revoir, de vous revoir tout de suite, lĂ , devant moi, est entrĂ© soudain dans mon coeur. Et je voudrais passer la mer, franchir les montagnes, traverser les villes, rien que pour poser ma main sur votre Ă©paule, pour respirer le parfum de vos cheveux. Ne le sentez-vous pas, autour de vous, rĂŽder, ce dĂ©sir, ce dĂ©sir venu de moi qui vous cherche, ce dĂ©sir qui vous implore dans le silence de la nuit ?Â
Lettre de Maupassant Ă Hermine Lecomte de NoĂŒy (19 dĂ©cembre 1887) in Maupassant, FrĂ©dĂ©ric Martinez

Piloting a lich isn't that difficult. Don't worry you'll be fine, especially if its just a normal, none live fire, practice. And if it is and the worst happens. Well, it didn't
Okay! Gonna give it a shot and try my best!

Iâm waiting for you, Iâm waiting for the evening calm, Iâm waiting for our time, the oblique light, this pause between day and night. Peace will come, surely. But I can imagine no other peace than that of our two bodies bound together, of our gaze given over to each other - I have no other homeland but you.
Albert Camus to Maria CasarĂšs, Correspondance, July 17, 1949

Ce que vous savez peut ĂȘtre mal câest Ă quel point vous ĂȘtes un besoin pour ceux qui vous aiment, et qui sans vous , ne vaudraient plus grand chose. Je parle dâabord pour moi qui ne me suis jamais rĂ©signĂ© Ă voir la vie perdre de son sens, et de son sang. A vrai dire, câest le seul visage que jâaie jamais connu Ă la souffrance. On parle de la douleur de vivre. Mais ce nâest pas vrai, câest la douleur de ne pas vivre, quâil faut dire. Et comment vivre dans ce monde dâombres ? Sans vous, sans deux, trois ĂȘtres que je respecte et chĂ©ris, une Ă©paisseur manquerait dĂ©finitivement aux choses. Peut-ĂȘtre ne vous ai-je pas assez dit cela, mais ce nâest pas au moment oĂč je vous sens un peu dĂ©semparĂ© que je veux manquer Ă vous le dire. Il y a si peu dâoccasions dâamitiĂ© vraie aujourdâhui que les hommes en sont devenus trop pudiques, parfois.
Albert Camus à René Char

10 ALBERT CAMUS TO MARIA CASARĂS
Sunday [July 19, 1944]
My darling,
Pierre [Gallimard] who will give you this note is returning to Verdelot on Thursday by a means that is not too tiring and which he will explain to you. I think that if you are still willing to come in the middle of the week, this is the best opportunity. I am writing to you from elsewhere, but I do not need to tell you that I will wait for you on Thursday. For your return, if it is necessary, the same combination could bring you back to Paris in half a day. See you on Thursday. I am waiting for you and I kiss you.

Rest especially. Recover during the day. Think of me: you are the dearest thing to me in the world and, kept far from you, I tremble every time I imagine you in this moment.

"I want you everywhere, all of you, and I will always want you. Yes, always, and don't talk to me about '...if' or 'maybe...' or 'as long as...' I want you, I know, it is a need and I will put all my heart, all my soul, all my will and all my cruelty even, if it is necessary to have you."
Maria CasarĂšs to Albert Camus, Correspondance *â Christmas 1948 [#43]

Je ne pense comme personne je ne sens comme personne, je ne raisonne comme personne et je reste persuadĂ© de lâĂ©ternelle vĂ©ritĂ© de cette phrase de mon maĂźtre, le seul ĂȘtre que jâai aimĂ© dâune affection absolue et qui sera sans fin, bien que lui soit mort, je parle de Gustave Flaubert : « Sale invention que la vie dĂ©cidĂ©ment. Nous sommes tous dans un dĂ©sert. [âŠ]
