Dear Leonard,
To look life in the face, always to look life in the face and to know it for what it is at last to know it, to love for what it is, and then to put it away. Leonard, always the years between us, always the years, always the love, always the hours.
Your loving wife, Virginia
Note: this is (unfortunately) fiction. These are the final words of the movie The Hours, a movie based on the life of Virgina Woolf and her novel Mrs. Dalloway. This is to be the letter that Virgina wrote to her husband Leonard before she went and drowned herself in a river. The letter existed and closely related to this one. I just really like this one.
