My darling George, you said that things seemed clearer when they were written down.
3
Well, herewith a very boring letter, in which I will try and put down everything,
4
so that you may read and reread it in horror at your folly in getting involved with me.
5
deep breath.
6
To begin with, I love you with the depth and passion that I have felt for no one else in this life.
7
And if it astonishes you, it astonishes me as well.
8
Not, I hasten to say, because you are not worth loving, far from it.
9
It's just that first of all, I swore I would not get involved with another woman.
10
Secondly, I have never had such a feeling before, and it's almost frightening.
11
Thirdly, I would never have thought it possible
12
that another human being could occupy my waking and sleeping thoughts to the exclusion of almost everything else.
13
Fourthly, I never thought that even if one was in love,
14
one could get so completely besotted with another person so that a minute away from them felt like a thousand years.
15
Fifthly, I never hoped aspired, dreamed that one could find everything one wanted in one person.
16
I was not such an idiot as to believe this was possible.
17
Yet in you, I have found everything I want.
18
You are beautiful, giving, gentle, idiotically and deliciously feminine, sexy,
19
wonderfully intelligent and wonderfully silly as well.
20
I want nothing else in this life than to be with you, to listen and watch you, your beautiful voice, your beauty,
21
to argue with you, to laugh with you, to show you things and share things with you, to explore your magnificent mind,
22
to explore your wonderful body, and to help you, protect you, serve you, and bash you on the head when I think you're wrong.
23
Not to put too fine a point on it, I consider that I am the only man outside mythology to have found the crock of gold at the rainbow's end.
24
Now let me tell you something.
25
I have seen a thousand sunsets and sunrises, on land where it floods forests and mountains with honey-colored light,
26
at sea where it rises
27
and sets like a blood orange in a multicolored nest of cloud slipping in and out of the vast ocean.
28
I have seen a thousand moons, harvest moons like gold coins, Winter moons as white as ice chips,
29
new moons like baby swan's feathers.
30
I have seen seas as smooth as if painted, colored like shot silk, or blue as a kingfisher,
31
or transparent as glass, all black and crumpled with foam, moving ponderously and murderously.
32
I have felt winds straight from the South Pole, bleak and wailing like a lost child.
33
Winds as tender and warm as a lover's breath.
34
Winds that carried the astringent smell of salts and the death of seaweeds.
35
Winds that carried the moist, rich smell of a forest floor, the smell of a million flowers.
36
Fierce winds that churned and moved the sea like yeast, or winds that made the waters lap at the shore's edge like a kitten.
37
I've known silence, The cold, earthy silence at the bottom of a newly dug well.
38
The implacable stony silence of a deep cave.
39
The hot, drugged midday silence when everything is hypnotized and stilled into silence by the eye of the sun.
40
The silence when great music ends.
41
I have heard summer cicadas cry so that the sound seems stitched into your bones.
42
I have heard tree frogs in an orchestration as complicated as Bach singing in a forest lit by a million emerald fireflies.
43
I've heard the keys calling over great glaciers that groaned to themselves
44
like old people as they inched their way to the sea.
45
I've heard the hoarse street vendor cries of the mating fur seals as they sang to their sleek golden wives.
46
The crisp staccato astonishment of the rattlesnake.
47
the cobweb squeak of the bat and the belling roar of red deer knee-deep in purple heather.
48
I've heard wolves baying at a winter's moon, red howler monkeys making the forest vibrate with their roaring cries.
49
I have heard the squeak, purr and grunt of a hundred multicolored reef fish.
50
I've seen hummingbirds flashing like opals round a tree of scarlet blooms, humming like a top.
51
I've seen flying fish skittering like quicksilver across the blue waves, drawing silver lines on the surface with their tails.
52
I've seen spoonbills flying home to roost like a scarlet banner across the sky.
53
I've seen whales, black as tar, cushioned on a cornflower blue sea,
54
creating a Versailles of fountain with their breath.
55
I've watched butterflies emerge and sit trembling while the sun irons their wings smooth.
56
I've watched tigers, like flames, mating in the long grass.
57
I've been dive-bombed by an angry raven, black and glossy as the devil's hoof.
58
I've lain in water warm as milk, soft as silk, while around me played a host of dolphins.
59
I have met a thousand animals and seen a thousand wonderful things,
60
but all this I did without you.
61
This was my loss.
62
All this I want to do with you.
63
This will be my gain.
64
All this I would gladly have forgone for the sake of one minute of your company, for your laugh, your voice,
65
your eyes, hair, lips, body and above all for your sweet ever surprising mind,
66
which is an enriching quarry in which it is my privilege to to delve.
67
Yours ever, Gerry.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법
쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
