At the start of a relationship…
Dear Jon,
I want a man who knows what love is all about. You are generous, kind, thoughtful. People who are not like you admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me for other men. I yearn for you. I have no feelings whatsoever when we're apart. I can be forever happy - will you let me be yours?

At the end…
Dear Jon,
I want a man who knows what love is. All about you are generous, kind, thoughtful people, who are not like you. Admit to being useless and inferior. You have ruined me. For other men, I yearn. For you, I have no feelings whatsoever. When we're apart, I can be forever happy. Will you let me be?
Yours,
Jane

One day Humpty Dumpty went for a walk. He found a big wall. Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall and had a great fall.
Humpty Dumpty was sitting on Mr Gill’s old, crumbling wall when a gust of wind whipped past. Poor Humpty! What would happen to him?

As the sun rose above the horizon, Humpty Dumpty, who never listened to good advice, sat contentedly on the old, crumbling wall in the middle of Mr Gill’s field. Without warning, a gust of wind – as strong as a hurricane - whipped past.

He came into my life in February 1932 and never left it again. More than a quarter of a century has passed since then, more than nine thousand days, desultory and tedious, hollow with the sense of effort or work without hope – days and years, many of them as dead as dry leaves on a dead tree.
