“When people fall in love they merge their identities. When you fall in love for the first time it seems like a great idea. ‘Why not lose myself in the other? Never liked myself much anyway.’ And then it becomes a terrible situation where something goes wrong and you have to try and reestablish your identity without the great love affair. Painful business. They (Brawne and Keats) had to do that because he wasn’t gonna live.I thought it was a pretty special story.”
