How good and sweet and watchful you are. I am very sad to be away, locked in a room where I hurt - Friends like you, like Kit one would like to enjoy without a shadow. Tony was supposed to come to see me yesterday, but he didn't come. With all my heart. Jean" [This is the whole world of Jean Cocteau in the 1920s! Kit and Tony are a couple of male friends, homosexuals and opium addicts, Kit is the English painter Christopher Wood, companion of Antonio (Tony) de Gandarillas, a rich Chilean diplomat.
