Anti Freeze Soul Silver



Earlier, I was trying to get their hands on one of our French versions of Lovecraft and I came across this:





In reading this dedication, the Tears came to my eyes. I found a whole in this dedication that Amelia and I've fallen in love, this Amelia that I continued to love and continue through all its metamorphoses. Amelia was right in this so passionate, shy but ready to explode at any time to finally reveal to the world. We were still somewhat innocent then. I certainly do not regret not that lucidity which we won along the way but as I have been able to save my beloved some of the suffering that led us to the full discovery of reality.

When I Amelia knew she was very shy but no less passionate. During our first meetings, I though it was also very shy but that was one of the most sociable of my life, I was talking nonstop. Amelia spent much time listen, so full of restraint, but at times it was breaking, including when she spoke of her passion for science fiction and even more when she spoke of Lovecraft, his beloved Lovecraft , about which she told me everything. You will therefore understand the whole meaning for me that makes this dedication.

I have not read Lovecraft before finally this summer, just as Amelia did not read the book Nerval that I offered a little later. I feel a little bad, a little cheap but I know she understands, as I understand. We both know that each book comes in its time. That's why our libraries are full of books that we have not yet read. We know that their time will come. With regard to Lovecraft, it was for me this summer. I was not before it in the proper frame of mind to read it. This state, this was a wonderful "discovery". Perhaps at the time, as Amelia so aptly remarked, I was a little annoyed with what it means his awkwardness and his' side 'very', "although I would have forgiven, of course. But this summer, I was not annoyed, just delighted and impressed by all this intensity. I would not have been able to appreciate its true value before this summer, I think. So I'm glad I waited, in some way. I did not read elsewhere in this issue but rather in the original version because I think it's too stupid to read a translation of English. But I think I dive into the book Amelia gave me very soon. I've read several texts that are in English so I will not feel too bad.

I reread this dedication and I am shocked by this Amelie who seems so distant. But what is extraordinary is that I do not feel one ounce less in love than I was then. I know how it's cliché to say that, but it is no less true. I know what I mean those few people who say that their love is just growing every day. I experience continually. I watch Amelie writing in front of me and I feel more love than I was yesterday, even more than I was there last year and a lot more than I were at the beginning, even though we were already madly loving one another. I feel so privileged to have my little Amelie in my life ...
