Review of The Hours (2002) by Peter H — 30 Sep 2010
Virginia Woolf: I feel certain that I am going mad again. I feel we can't go through another of those terrible times. And I shan't recover this time. I begin to hear voices, and I can't concentrate.
So I am doing what seems the best thing to do. You have given me the greatest possible happiness. You have been in every way all that anyone could be. I don't think two people could have been happier 'til this terrible disease came.
I can't fight any longer. I know that I am spoiling your life, that without me you could work. And you will I know. You see I can't even write this properly. I can't read. What I want to say is I owe all the happiness of my life to you.
You have been entirely patient with me and incredibly good. I want to say that ? everybody knows it. If anybody could have saved me it would have been you. Everything has gone from me but the certainty of your goodness.
I can't go on spoiling your life any longer. I don't think two people could have been happier than we have been. V.
