“I will never leave him. It will be this, always, for as long as he will let me.
If I had had words to speak such a thing, I would have. But there were none that seemed big enough for it, to hold that swelling truth.

“Patroclus,” he said. He was always better with words than I.”
― Madeline Miller, The Song of Achilles
