Does the name make the person, or does the person make the name?
. . .
Rip me apart. I know nothing but Patroclus and Achilles as they know nothing but each other.
Miller’s prose never ceases to amaze me, wound me, and put me back together all in one sentence. I have always told people that I am not a fan of romance, but apparently I was a liar!
Patroclus. Patroclus. Patroclus.
This is one of those books where you do not come out the same person you once were. When I get my hands on a pretty new copy, I will be annotating the hell out of it.
(Also, I have cried several times just thinking about them.)
I have never been left so empty after a book. I quite literally do not know what to do with my life anymore.
