"I got the paper pack and I am reading it from the start, after nearly two years pause. And I still relate, maybe even more. I think in the past two years I’ve become more introspective and self aware that I’m not just reading an entry aged more than 70 years, I’m reading my life through Sylvia’s pen. Entry 36 from the first journal destroyed me, cause what I couldn’t fathom in me had been described in it." — Jul 31, 2025 11:18AM

“Then, sometimes a game of chess; or pictures in Bond Street, or a long way home to take the air with Bonamy on his arm, meditatively marching, head thrown back, the world a spectacle, the early moon above the steeples coming in for praise, the sea-gulls flying high, Nelson on his column surveying the horizon, and the world our ship.”
