I Believe That Words Are Powerful

When I opened my eyes in darkness and I felt you on my side, I was astonished not to see stars above my head, as the sky seemed so close. No, my beloved, I've never regretted anything, ever, because of that hour. I still remember that when you were asleep, I heard your breath, and I touched your body and I felt so close to you: in the shadows, I shed tears of happiness.
- Stefan Zweig, letter from a stranger
