A.D. said: When aren't our great loves so wholly imaginary? I don't think this lessens them . . ."
Em said: It doesn't lessen the love or the sentiment. But it lessens the loved one. Do you see?
A.D. said: i meant to say . . . it allows us to take them with us. the beloveds here are the wonderful ghosts of memory, before they're even reduced to memories or ghosts themselves. in this way they're permanent—not thinking of imaginary as "made up", but rather as integratedly ours as much or more than anything else external to ourselves.
any sense to that?
