"Do not speak, Tempe. There is no need. We have met. We have touched. You have read my poems. It is enough. Don"t despair for me. We are all creatures of G.o.d, and I am at peace. You have given me a great gift, my dear, dear friend. You have reopened my childhood. Sit with me awhile and then return to your life. I will keep you always in my heart."
