There seemed to be nothing left in the world, for I felt that Roland had taken with him all my future, and Edward all my past.

It is nearly 2 o’clock and I have to get up early. But I cannot help thinking of you tonight. I have just been wondering what it will feel like to be twenty tomorrow. Shall I feel so very old? And yet we are both only children still – children who have dreamt each the dreams of a child, and meeting at the gateway of a fairer garden tremble lest after all their dreams come true.

Violets from Plug Street Wood, Sweet, I send you oversea. (It is strange they should be blue, Blue, when his soaked blood was red, For they grew around his head: It is strange they should be blue.)

Think what they have meant to me - Life and hope and Love and You (and you did not see them grow Where his mangled body lay Hiding horrors from the day; Sweetest, it was better so.)

Violets from oversea, To your dear, far, forgetting land These I send in memory Knowing you will understand

That’s what I live for. Variety, living in different worlds, inhabiting different bodies and speaking different voices, having different haircuts. It’s all part of what I think acting is. (x)
