The Sea The Sea

Hartley and I would live alone, secretly,incognito, somewhere in England, in the country, in a little house by the sea. And she would sew and go shopping and I would do the garden and paint the hall and have all the things which I had missed in my life. And we would gently cherish each other and there would be a vast plain goodness and a sort of space and quiet,unspoilt and uncorrupted.
