ELEVEN: Zadie’s Words III

February 28,

“What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are joined for life...to strengthen each other...to be at one with each other in silent unspeakable memories.”

— George Eliot

I can’t remember where I first read this quote. What I do remember is the way it touched me, the way it defined the concept of a soulmate. I was not in the least surprised to find that George Eliot is a pen name for a woman, Mary Anne Evans.

There is something haunting about the words. Something that fills my heart with love and dread at the same time. It’s as if something so beautiful can only be short-lived, like a shooting star that leaves us longing for its impossible return.

I realized today that what Dalia and I have is the living embodiment of Eliot’s quote. Through our love, we have strengthened each other. And we are joined for life, and hopefully beyond. I need that to be true because I also realized today that what we have, our everything, is short-lived. And Dalia, my sweet Dalia, will be alone with her silent memories.

This house that we’ve nurtured back to life with our love and sweat has betrayed us. I’ve struggled with the knowledge for some time, alone with my own silent unspeakable memories, but the answer is irrefutable to me now. Inevitable. And it weighs on my heart to know the grief it will bring to my Dalia.
