A playlist for Evelyn Hugo and Celia St James

Evelyn and Celia's romance spanned for 41 years. 

Since they first met in the set of Little Women in 1959 until Celia's death in 2000, they spent  24 years together and 17 years apart. This playlist is my attempt to capture their love story, with its ups and downs, starting with how I believe Evelyn felt before meeting Celia and how she did after she died. 

I decided to include two boleros in spanish not only because it is one of fav musical genres out there, but also because I think evelyn’s mother used to listen to them and that evelyn continued to do so ♥

besides spanish is my first language and i love it very much 

I hope you enjoy!

Speaking of your letter. I feel—to speak of it would be to contain what it did to me, to make it small. I don’t want to do that. Even poetry, which breaks language into meaning—poetry ossifies, in time, the way trees do. What’s supple, whipping, soft, and fresh grows hard armor.

If I could touch you, put my finger to your temple and sink you into me the way Garden does—perhaps then. But I would never. So this letter instead.

“If you start that engine, you die,” Nikolai called out, making her stop in her tracks. She turned to face him with a conflicted expression, and it only made it harder for him to control the words threatening to tumble out of his mouth. He drew in a shaky breath. “This is as far as you go,” he added quietly. It was painful to say it to her, but she had to know. There was still a chance that she would listen to him. “No matter what I do.”

yuyeh sesh: 'despise your heart'. but that's the direct translation. the real meaning is more like 'do what needs to be done-be cruel if you have to.'"

"what's the other part?"

"ni weh sesh? 'i have no heart
