- E. M. Forster's New Year's resolutions, written 31 December 1904

“…George and I both know this, but why does it distress him? We know that we come from the winds, and that we shall return to them; that all life is perhaps a knot, a tangle, a blemish in the eternal smoothness. But why should this make us unhappy? Let us rather love one another, and work and rejoice. I don’t believe in this world-sorrow.”

Miss Honeychurch assented.

“Then make my boy think like us. Make him realize that by the side of the everlasting Why there is a Yes—a transitory Yes if you like, but a Yes.”

E.M Forster and Siegfried Sassoon were doing top/bottom discourse about their mutual friend T.E Lawrence back in 1924 by the way if you even care

I recently stumbled across the "Radio 3 Documentary" archive on BBC, and downloaded some from several years ago. Nice that they are downloadable now that BBCSounds is kaput. Anyway, this one from 2017 would be of interest to fans of EM Forster's Maurice. How it came to be written, shared, revised, shared more, and eventually published

In case putting a link in the og post makes it hard to find, I'll put the link in the first reblog.
