Tags: In a telegram sent on 29 April 1963, Ingrid Jonker thanks André Brink for his letter and flowers. They had met a few days before. He was almost twenty- eight; she thirty. This was the beginning of a correspondence between two writers that lasted up until three months before Jonker drowned herself at Three Anchor Bay. Half a century later, their love letters are published here for the first time. In more than two hundred letters that have never been seen before, a gripping love affair unfolds.

And somewhere beyond, an old-fashioned yard.

Thank you, for your really lovely little letter, which sorts and arranges – it’s actually a fantastic experience, all of it. The liberating humour, the seriousness of the game, the absolute freedom from any feeling of “bitterness”, the incontrovertible, lasting tenderness. My wonder man, I love you. Biblelove, Corinthianslove. I carry you cocoon-tight, and then one has to be a cocoon to be a poet. Maybe being a poet is a playland, never really “deep seriousness”, but for me, one as safe as Jesus. I completely agree with your criticism of “My Embrace Redoubled Me”. That’s just a provisional comment. The worst is still to come! I’m going to sleep with you now. Perhaps just sleep from knowing – we’ll see how the hand leads us. But in any case, peacefully, happy, as you must also be. “Not for one moment, beautiful André Brink, will I forget thee.” Love and love, liefsteling.

As always your Cocoon

COCOON.

Ach, du … du!

{Thank you for the telegram on Saturday, generous child. IJ.}
