"I love you lovely woman. If anybody hurts you, send me a line saying something like "Need" or "Necessity" or just the one magic word "Elizabeth", and I will be there somewhat faster than the sound. You must know, of course, how badly I treat you. But the fundamental and most vicious, swinish, murderous, and unchangeable fact is that we totally misunderstand each other(...) You are distant as Venus - planet, I mean - and I am tone- def to the music of the spheres."
