- Julie de la Beresfordhas quoted2 years ago
Rivers looked round the room, which seemed cold and bleak in spite of the small fire. ‘Do you hear from Owen at all?’
‘Constantly. He… er… writes distinctly effusive letters. You know…’ He hesitated. ‘I knew about the hero-worship, but I’m beginning to think it was rather more than that.’
Rivers watched the firelight flicker on Sassoon’s hair and face. He said, ‘It happens.’
‘I just hope I was kind enough.’
‘I’m sure you were.’ - Nathanielhas quoted4 years ago
‘But you’re not a Jew.’
‘I am, actually. Or rather my “fathers” were.’
‘I didn’t know that.’ Owen contemplated the fact through a haze of burgundy. ‘That’s why you’re called Siegfried?’
‘No-o, I’m called Siegfried because my mother liked Wagner. And the only thing I have in common with orthodox Jews is that I do profoundly thank God I was born a man and not a woman. If I were a woman, I’d be called Brünnhilde.’ - Nathanielhas quoted4 years agoThere’s nothing more despicable than using a man’s private life to discredit his views
