“The beauty was in everything, and he could have separated nothing — couldn’t have thought of her face as distinct from the whole joy. Yet her face had a new light. ‘And I pledge you — I call God to witness! — every spark of my faith; I give you every drop of my life.’ That was all, for the moment, but it was enough, and it was almost as quiet as if it were nothing.”

—Henry James, The Wings of the Dove (1902)

The Wings of the Dove

The Wings of the Dove    [trailer]

An impoverished woman who has been forced to choose between a privileged life with her wealthy aunt and her journalist lover, befriends an American heiress. When she discovers the heiress is attracted to her own lover and is dying, she sees a chance to have both the privileged life she cannot give up and the lover she cannot live without.

Aching romantic drama in perfection. A threesome would've been the obvious solution. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

“The world was different — whether for worse or for better — from her rudimentary readings, and it gave her the feeling of a wasted past. If she had only known sooner she might have arranged herself more to meet it.”

Xiao had seen Venti’s suit. He’d also seen him wearing it in a photo Venti sent him from the tailor’s. He wasn’t expecting anything to be different when he turned. He was an idiot. It was night and day. In the mid-morning sunlight, surrounded by green grass and vast blue sky, Venti was ethereal. Xiao’s heart lurched. His eyes burned.
