His present to Vivien was more about himself than her, which was why he needed to perform it to the company on that evening in October 2014.

She was, he said, like a drowning woman breaking the surface to gulp the air for the last time. I said if Percy had a moment like that, it would frighten me. It would be like a haunting.

There should have been something both dark and grand, even dramatic, in witnessing the person you love cast off, piece by piece, all the elements of their being in relentless disintegration. But the day-to-day reality of the process was its banality. Percy's consciousness was a closing door. He became simple, boring, repetitious, unlovely.

A fiend had come in the night to take an ice-cream scoop to my brain and made off with my darkest emotional flavours, fury, humiliation, self-pity, desolation. If they all came back at once, they would wreck me. Any day now, I told myself, I would start to feel.

'no ideas but in things'. It's become his catchphrase. After breakfast he sometimes murmurs those words as he kisses me and heads off to his shed for the day's work.
Three years later she returned to the passage and scribbled in the margin, 'In love, we forgot that we too were things that could get broken or lost.'

Vivien was closer to the truth when she wrote, three weeks after the wedding, 'what's so lovely is that basically, in a quiet way, he's simply glad he exists. Whatever the difficulty, the baseline isn't disturbed Then that line becomes mine too.'

The Corona was more beautiful for not being known. (...) it presented to posterity the pure form, the ideal of all poetry.(...) The imagined lords it over the actual - no paradox or mystery there. Many religious believers do not want their God depicted or described. (...) Living out our lives within unexamined or contradictory assumptions, we inhabit a fog of dreams and seem to need them.
