He knows I’m not in love with him… I cried last night to think of a savage cynical fate which had made it impossible for my love ever to be used by you. You never knew, or never will know the very big and devastating love I had for you … I shall be with you in two weeks, how lovely that will be. And this summer we shall all be very happy together.
—Dora Carrington to Lytton Strachey, on her honeymoon with Ralph Partridge, 1921
A snippet of Dora Carrington’s love letter to Lytton Strachey, written while she was on honeymoon with the man he was in love with. “Lived in squares and loved in triangles,” etc.
