I wrote in my journal that I was madly, passionately in love, and I believe that I was. Whether Vernon was conscious of it or not, I do not know. At that age I was too shy to declare my passion...I sat up until the small hours recounting to my journal the terrifying thrills which I felt... This passion lasted two years and I believed that I suffered quite intensely...That was my first love. I was madly in love, and I believe that since then I have never ceased to be madly in love. |

battle.

After the first few weeks of wild, impassioned love-making, there began the
waging of the fiercest battle that was ever known, between the genius of Gordon
Craig and the inspirations of my Art.
