02:03:02 I have asked you one day: "How long will tomorrow last?"
02:03:07 and you answered to me:
02:03:11 Eternity and a day.
02:03:17 I couldn't hear you.
02:03:20 What did you say?
"I write without seeing. I came. I wanted to kiss your hand... This is the first time I have ever written in the dark...not knowing whether I am indeed forming letters. Wherever there will be nothing, read that I love you."
—Diderot, Letter to Sophie Volland, June 10, 1759
