Sometimes I feel so sad — when I go to bed — I feel . . . just so relieved to become unconscious — it's like wanting to be dead.

To say we were 'in love', that vague weakened phrase, cannot express it.

We loved each other, we lived in each other, through each other, by each other. We were each other.

// Iris Murdoch, ‘The Sea, the Sea’
