Virginia Woolf's suicide letter to her husband Leonard :
Dearest,
I feel certain I am going mad again. I feel we can’t go through another of those terrible times. And I shan’t recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can’t concentrate. So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don’t think two people could have been happier till this terrible disease came. I can’t fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can’t even write this properly. I can’t read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you. You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that — everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness. I can’t go on spoiling your life any longer.
I don’t think two people could have been happier than we have been.

At Tuesday’s Planning Commission meeting, the city of Winchester, Virginia unanimously endorsed a rezoning request that would result in demolition of the historic Elms Motel. Read more about the architectural significance of this property here. It’ll be sad to see this one go.

Elrod House, John Lautner, 1968
DIAMONDS ARE FOREVER (1971)
John Lautner’s buildings have played home to more cinematic villains than those of any other architect. In this clip, Elrod House, reminiscent of a early-Bond Ken Adam set, provides the venue for some weird acrobatic vengeance from Bambi and Thumper. (Image: Nelson-Moe Properties via tortugaliving)
