Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law.

 

I have got your letter this morning with exceeding great delight. It is really wonderful of you to think of me when you are surrounded by so much beauty. I can only repay you in your own coin, by reminding you that two of the great experiences of my life were the two journeys, both night journeys, One East to West, and the other West to East, through the island across the gulf of Finland. Of course they may have spoilt that: people seem to have an absolute rage for spoiling everything, but we must hope for the best. In the case of this particular journey it seems so inscrutably motiveless to spoil this particular scenery. You should not allow yourself to be deterred by any question of passport. There is no point whatever in your getting off the boat; all you want to do is to go by night through the Islands.

 

Love is the Law, love under will.
