You could have made anything of me. I would have walked among the stars.

Violet Trefusis, in a letter to Vita Sackville-West, written c. March 1919

. . . My days are consumed by this impotent longing for you, and my nights are riddled with insufferable dreams . . . I want you. I want you hungrily, frenziedly, passionately. I am starving for you, if you must know it. Not only the physical you, but your fellowship, your sympathy, the innumerable points of view we share. I can’t exist without you, you are my affinity, the intellectual 'pendent' to me, my twin spirit.

Violet Trefusis, from 'Violet to Vita: The Letters of Violet Trefusis to Vita Sackville-West'

And to that something I make my appeal…
