Hey everyone! I've been working hard on my website and Patreon to create content for you. Most of it features Robert and Albert, as well as other historical figures. I'm curious if you'd be interested in joining a Patreon to access rare and exclusive material. Currently I have two membership tiers:

Researcher: £5.50 / $6 per month. Includes General Support and Exclusive Content.

Archivist: £10 / $12 per month. Includes everything in the Researcher tier, plus Digital Downloads, Research Requests (for history-based topics), and Rare Content (videos, images, and audio files not available anywhere else online).

Joining my Patreon not only supports my work but also gives you access to unique historical materials that you won't find elsewhere. All funds will be used to further my research and give you more content to enjoy I will be dedicating my time to this project even if that means travelling to get members content.

“Tonight I only want to rub myself all over you. I love you to death. […] Courage, my love! Life is already bursting. Ah! You. You against me. I love you. I kiss you everywhere. I wait for you. I wait for you, my dear love.”

— Maria Casarès to Albert Camus, Correspondance, February 12, 1950 [#188]

"But you mustn't be sad about my sadness ... I known I've done everything to detach you from me, and all my life when someone has become attached to me, I've done everything to make them back off."

“All my hope, all my courage comes finally from what I expect as a total reunion, love, emotion, joy, and absolute freedom between us, bodies and soul, transparency and naturalness. And I do not wait for it as a utopia. I wait for it because I am sure of it. And it is not so far, no, it is not so far. Because listen carefully: yesterday in the mountain I saw the first flowers of the almond tree. The tree was still black. But at the ends of the branches a dozen or so frail and soft flowers were already rustling in the wind. You understand, my love, Maria dear! It was the extreme point of the extreme beginning of spring. And a great impulse came to my eyes and heart, which I can call no more than an impulse of adoration. I made a vow. I looked for a long time at the crying petals. And I went home, my heart full of love. Goodbye, my beautiful and wonderful love. I kiss my Valentine and give her the few flowers that we should give on Valentine’s Day to the one that we love. You are the one I love, before every spring, and I kiss you deeply, with all my love.”

— Albert Camus to Maria Casarès, Correspondance, February 12, 1950 [#187]

"You see? It's vile, I admit. Generously, you ask what I do. Aside from the activities exposed in last week's disgusting note, I labor, and write innumerable theses, notes, poems, stories, and junk; I go to the math lib and read and to the Phil lib and divide my time between Meinherr Russell and the contemplation of a most beautiful and lovely lady who is writing a thesis on Spinoza-charmingly ironic, at that, don't you think?; I make stenches in three different labs, listen to Allard gossip about Racine, serve tea and talk learnedly to a few lost souls, go off for the weekend to distill the low grade energy into laughter and exhaustion, read Greek, commit faux pas, search my desk for letters. and wish I were dead. Voila."

excerpt from a letter to Mr. Smith

1923 Winter Cambridge

You will never be able to experience everything. So, please, do poetical justice to your soul and simply experience yourself - Albert Camus
