Here is a sentence that you probably do not expect you to hear today: there is a new letter byT.S. ouliot It's okay. Yes, just two days at 2020, it was announced that more than 1,000Letters written by Eliot to his companionEmily Hale would be unveiled to the public for the first time. For scholars, it was an exciting event of hope that the correspondence broke out the mysterious relationship of Eliot with Hale, which he met in 1912 in Cambridge, Massachusetts and wrote during his years. Hale donated letters to the Library of Princeton University in 1956, asking they remain sealed for 50 years after one of them died last. Eliot died in 1965 and Hale followed four years later. So now, it's time.

The only letter that attracted the attention of the Internet briefly summarizes Eliot's attitude towards his relationship with Hale and the delivery of letters. And, spoiler alert, he was salted enough on both.

He said he had fallen in love with Hale in 1912, but was repulsed. "I have no reason to believe, in which this statement has been received, that my feelings have been returned, to a certain extent," he wrote. So he shot his shot and curved himself.

Eliot later marriedVivienne haigh-woodBut realized soon after he was still in love with Hale. May be. It is not safe - it could have been "simply my reaction against my misery with Vivienne and desire to come back to an earlier situation".

At the time, Eliot wrote, he was shy and immature and full of doubt of himself to be a professor of philosophy. His wedding at Haigh-Wood was aunfortunateBut he said he was grateful because he "saved him" to marry hale. "Emily Hale would have killed the poet in me; Vivienne was the death of me, but she kept the poet living," he wrote. "In retrospectively, the 17-year-old nightmare agony seems preferable to the dull misery of the mediocre teacher of philosophy that would have been the alternative."

Spoken as a real anxious poet.

Eliot also wrote that he has seen Hale from time to time and "gradually I came to see that I had been in love with a memory, with the memory of the experience of being in love with his youth." He added, "I came to see that my love for Emily was the love of a ghost for a ghost."

Oh, and he also noted that they certainly did itnot Have sexual relations.

Daniel Linke, provisional leader of special collections at the University Library of Princeton,told the associated press That the release of letters is "the equivalent special collections of a stampede at a rock concert", which seems suitably dramatic.

And the answers - which have been mixed - have fallen online. Some found Eliot's letter to get around and relatable, while others called him "porn revenge", especially as he wanted the letters of Hale to be destroyed.

Well, there is one thing we can all agree on: it's intense.
